Antibiotic sensitivityresults reported by microbiology laboratories may influence GP prescribing. Laboratories should examine their reporting protocols and confirm that they are in line with localantibioticguidance. View article Synthetic Biology, Part A ...
while bacteriostatic activity interferes with bacterial reproduction and it is the host immune system that subsequently eliminates the bacteria.8In general, the activity of antibiotics that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis is bactericidal. Although the majority of ...
Because the definition of antibiotic persistence is anchored in the heterogeneity of the response to antibiotics in the population, it is a population-level phenotype. However, tolerance can be the attribute of a whole population that is killed at a slow rate as well as of a single cell that...
Fig. 1: Change in the human gut microbiota following environmental conversion. aOverview of the study design. Fourteen veterinary students’ fecal samples were collected at seven time points: T0, 1–2 weeks before work on the swine farm; T1–T3, while living and working at the swine farm; ...
This definition was introduced by the OECD “in order to identify those which are potentially hazardous to the environment and/or to the health of the general public or worker” (OECD 2009). Table 1 indicates which of the homologues fall into this category—and this is in good agreement ...

Cell surface sialoglycoproteins of pathogens play essential role in disease biology. To check which glycoproteins of PA become sialylated, all sialoglycoproteins having α2,6- and α2,3-linkages were purified from total membrane protein of PA+Sias by using SNA and MAA as their respective affinit...
It has become increasingly clear that low levels of antibiotics present in many environments can select for resistant bacteria, yet the evolutionary pathways for resistance development during exposure to low amounts of antibiotics remain poorly defined.
The European Society for Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) conceived a practical definition for multidrug resistance, where a pathogen is classified as MDR, if they show resistance against three or more antibiotic classes in vitro [12,13]. Major public health authorities, such ...
