Emergence and dissemination of blaKPC-31 and blaPAC-2 among different species of Enterobacterales in Colombia: a new challenge for the microbiological laboratories

Microbiology Spectrum
Ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA) is a promising treatment option for infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE). However, CZA resistance is increasingly reported worldwide, largely due to the emergence of KPC variants and increase of ...

Comparison of the in vitro antibiofilm activities of otic cleansers against canine otitis externa pathogens

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 148-158, April 2025.
Background – Biofilm production by canine otitis externa (COE) pathogens and resistance development to multiple antimicrobials are commonly reported problems in veterinary practice. The use of adjuvants to disrupt biofilms may be a viable adjunctive therapy.

Analyzing antimicrobial resistance as a series of collective action problems

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 52, Issue 4, Page 833-856, November 2024.
Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) causes over 1.27 million deaths annually, making it one of today's most urgent health threats. Given its urgency, there are often calls for large‐scale global initiatives to address AMR. However, theories of collective action have yet to be applied to the problem in a systematic and holistic manner.
