Emergence of Staphylococcus aureus Resistance to Antimicrobial Peptides Nisin, NZ2114 and Bacitracin Involves Multiple Phenotypic Changes

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The AMP‐induced mutant Staphylococcus aureus strain nzR showed increased resistance, five gene mutations, and decreased surface anion levels. AMPs affect the NDH‐2 protein encoded by ndh gene inhibiting the growth of S. aureus. The deletion of the ndh gene promotes the development of AMPs resistance.

Performance of vancomycin and teicoplanin disk diffusion test in isogenic vancomycin non-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2015
Introduction: Detection of heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (hVISA) is currently problematic. Although the population analysis profile with area under the curve (PAP-AUC) is the gold standard for detecting hVISA strains, this ...

Linezolid prevents fibroblast activation and ameliorates tissue fibrosis by inhibition of mitochondrial translation

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background Beyond its role as a ribosome‐targeting antibiotic, linezolid was recently shown to modulate immune responses by inhibiting mitochondrial translation. Since mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in various fibrotic diseases, including systemic sclerosis (SSc), this study aimed to evaluate the antifibrotic potential of linezolid and ...

Oral vancomycin solution is superior to capsule in inducing clinical biomarker and endoscopic remission in children with atypical ulcerative colitis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Atypical colitis (presenting reverse gradient colitis, backwash ileitis or rectal sparing) is associated with primary sclerosing cholangitis–ulcerative colitis (PSC). Oral vancomycin has been used to manage paediatric atypical colitis with/without confirmed PSC. Different preparations had shown different efficacy.

Evaluating and leveraging large language models in clinical pharmacology and therapeutics assessment: From exam takers to exam shapers

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims In medical education, the ability of large language models (LLMs) to match human performance raises questions about their potential as educational tools. This study evaluates LLMs' performance on Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (CPT) exams, comparing their results to medical students and exploring their ability to identify poorly formulated

Pharmacokinetics of teicoplanin in paediatric patients—A systematic review of current literature

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Objective Teicoplanin is commonly used in children to treat gram‐positive infections and is sometimes used off‐label prophylactically in surgical or paediatric oncology settings. The pharmacokinetics (PK) of teicoplanin in children exhibit considerable variability, such as in critically ill children or those with renal impairment.
