Spread of the blaOXA-48/IncL Plasmid within and between Dogs in City Parks, France

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
The blaOXA-48/IncL plasmid is increasingly reported in dogs, even in the absence of carbapenem use in animals. In this study, we witnessed the spread of this plasmid within and between dogs sharing the same relaxing area.

Alternatives to Fight Vancomycin-Resistant Staphylococci and Enterococci

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2021
Gram positive pathogens are a significant cause of healthcare-associated infections, with Staphylococci and Enterococci being the most prevalent ones. Vancomycin, a last resort glycopeptide, is used to fight these bacteria but the emergence of resistance

Destruction of Staphylococcus aureus biofilms by combining an antibiotic with subtilisin A or calcium gluconate

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
In S. aureus biofilms, bacteria are embedded in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and are highly tolerant to antimicrobial drugs. We thus sought to identify non-antibiotic substances with broad-spectrum activity able to destroy the EPS
