Permeation of β-Lactamase Inhibitors through the General Porins of Gram-Negative Bacteria [PDF]
Modern medicine relies upon antibiotics, but we have arrived to the point where our inability to come up with new effective molecules against resistant pathogens, together with the declining private investment, is resulting in the number of untreatable ...

Emerging treatment options for multi-drug-resistant bacterial infections [PDF]
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains one of the top public health issues of global concern. Among the most important strategies for AMR control there is the correct and appropriate use of antibiotics, including those available for the treatment of AMR ...

Activity of imipenem/relebactam against Pseudomonas aeruginosa producing ESBLs and carbapenemases [PDF]
Abstract Background ESBL- and carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa are prevalent in, for example, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Latin America, though rarer elsewhere. Because P. aeruginosa readily mutate to become carbapenem resistant via loss of OprD, isolates producing ESBLs are ...

Participant- and disease-related factors as independent predictors of treatment outcomes in the RESTORE-IMI 2 clinical trial: A multivariable regression analysis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In the RESTORE-IMI 2 trial, imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam (IMI/REL) was noninferior to piperacillin/tazobactam in treating hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia/ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia.

Infections Caused by Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae: An Update on Therapeutic Options
Carbapenems are considered as last-resort antibiotics for the treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. With the increasing use of carbapenems in clinical practice, the emergence of carbapenem-resistant pathogens now ...

identifying allosteric networks to fight antibiotics resistance [PDF]
The rise of multi-drug resistance in bacterial pathogens is one of the grand challenges facing medical science. A major concern is the speed of development of β-lactamase-mediated resistance in Gram-negative species, thus putting at risk the efficacy of ...

Allergic Reactions and Cross-Reactivity Potential with Beta-Lactamase Inhibitors
Although beta-lactam allergies are an emerging focus of stewardship programs and interventions, less is publicly released regarding allergies to beta-lactamase inhibitors. This review presents and evaluates the data regarding allergic reactions with beta-
