Current Understanding of Potential Linkages between Biocide Tolerance and Antibiotic Cross-Resistance

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Antimicrobials (e.g., antibiotics and biocides) are invaluable chemicals used to control microbes in numerous contexts. Because of the simultaneous use of antibiotics and biocides, questions have arisen as to whether environments commonly treated with ...

Defining the frontiers between antifungal resistance, tolerance and the concept of persistence

open access: yesDrug Resistance Updates, 2015
A restricted number of antifungal agents are available for the therapy of fungal diseases. With the introduction of epidemiological cut-off values for each agent in important fungal pathogens based on the distribution of minimal inhibitory concentration (

EVOLUTIONARY DYNAMICS OF PATHOGEN RESISTANCE AND TOLERANCE

Evolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution, 2000
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Abstract.— Host organisms can respond to the threat of disease either through resistance defenses (which inhibit or limit infection) or through tolerance strategies (which do not limit infection, but reduce or offset its fitness consequences).

Preservative tolerance and resistance

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 1998
Preservative tolerance is defined as a situation in which a formerly effective preservative system no longer controls microbial growth. Tolerance can have several potential causes: destabilization of the preservative, establishment of biofilms in the manufacturing system, and the development of resistance. As part of an effort to understand and control

Resistance, not tachyphylaxis or tolerance

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2012
We read with great interest the editorial ‘Loss of reactivity in intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy: tachyphylaxis or tolerance?’ published recently in the British Journal of Ophthalmology .1 The editorial discussed possible mechanisms behind decreased anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) response to neovascular age-related macular ...

Multimetal resistance and tolerance in microbial biofilms

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2007
Geochemical cycling and industrial pollution have made toxic metal ions a pervasive environmental pressure throughout the world. Biofilm formation is a strategy that microorganisms might use to survive a toxic flux in these inorganic compounds. Evidence in the literature suggests that biofilm populations are protected from toxic metals by the combined ...

Resistance on a background of tolerance

Science, 2017
Antibiotic Resistance Bacteria survive antibiotic exposure either because they are quiescent when antibiotics are around in the highest concentrations (i.e., tolerance) or because they acquire active biochemical resistance mechanisms (i.e., resistance). Both tolerance and resistance involve the acquisition of mutations from the wild type. Levin-Reisman

Concurrent Evolution of Resistance and Tolerance to Pathogens

The American Naturalist, 2004
Recent experiments on plant defenses against pathogens or herbivores have shown various patterns of the association between resistance, which reduces the probability of being infected or attacked, and tolerance, which reduces the loss of fitness caused by the infection or attack. Our study describes the simultaneous evolution of these two strategies of

Antibiotic tolerance facilitates the evolution of resistance

Science, 2017
Resistance on a background of tolerance Bacteria survive antibiotic exposure either because they are quiescent when antibiotics are around in the highest concentrations (i.e., tolerance) or because they acquire active biochemical resistance mechanisms (i.e., resistance).
