Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) is a tick-borne infection caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex with various neurological manifestations. The recommended treatment for LNB in Swedish children has been intravenous ceftriaxone 50–100 mg/kg × 1 (< 8 years of age) or...

distributed in animal feed or water for purposes such as disease prevention growth promotion. Inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics insufficient infection control in health care facilities can contribute to drug resistance put patients at risk for deadly infections, like C. difficile-associated diarrhea....
critical for the rational use of antibiotics and implementation of infection control measures. In the absence of such information, treament is empiric, usually involving broad-spectrum agents, which exacerbates resistance development. Inadequate infection control measures encourage dissemination of resistant ...
Platensimycin shows antibacterial activity against Gram- positive pathogens, including MDR strains, and was also effective in an experimental model of infection.32 In another increased-sensitivity assay, a high-throughput screening program was implemented to identify inhibitors of a cell-free transla- ...
The major hurdles in wound dressing are prolonged healing time, the need for frequent dressing changes, wound exposure, and the risk of infection [4]. In ancient times, certain leaves and cloth were used as dressing materials, along with plant-based extracts as ointments to prevent infection, ...
TanyaVerma, ...Saurabh JyotiSarma, inJournal of Molecular Structure, 2022 7.1Sensitivity in bacteria against antibiotics The sensitivity means that bacteria cannot be killed by a specific drug/the concentration of the drug[75]. An example can be aurinary tract infectionthat can be cured by using...
The strain, which causes skin and respiratory infections, regularly infects people who handle the livestock. Now the new genome analysis found that the MRSA strain found in livestock in 2003 likely came from an antibiotic sensitive strain of MRSA in humans. "Most of the ancestral human strains ...
2. Effect of superinfections on immune response and the severity of COVID-19 infection The principal aim for a host when being infected with a bacterial or a viral pathogen is to survive the infection and rapidly recover to a homeostatic state. This can happen in numerous ways, such as qui...
Phages (viruses infecting prokaryotes) have two main life cycles: lytic and lysogenic, which play distinctive roles in shaping the bacterial communities. Upon infection, lytic phages enter a productive replication cycle, promptly killing the host cell and exerting significant control on host population ...
