CONCLUSIONS E. coli is the most common micro-organism in patients with obstructing urolithiasis and sepsis. The overall high rates of resistance to fluoroquinolones support the use of piperacillin/tazobactam or ceftriaxone as an empiric agent of choice....
After designing and building the vector harboring the POI, an E. coli expression strain must be chosen. There are many strains that have been engineered for the purpose of heterologous protein expression which are reviewed here [13]. The choice of strain can have a profound impact on protein ...
The naturally occurring penicillins remain the drugs of choice for treating streptococcal sore throat, tonsillitis, endocarditis caused by some streptococci, syphilis, and meningococcal infections. Several bacteria, most notably Staphylococcus, developed resistance to the naturally occurring penicillins, which...
A statistically significant decrease in carbapenem susceptibility was observed for both Klebsiella pneumoniae (p = 0.034) and Escherichia coli (p = 0.014). However, while K. pneumoniae had a significant decrease in susceptibility to amikacin (p = 0.022), E. coli exhibited an increase...
The researchers are trying to find a molecule capable of mimicking the final compound which boosts the action of the antibiotic in killing bacteria like E. coli, in a hope for designing new drugs for attacking E. coli in a more effective way....
but can be let to physician’ choice for specific indications. Future studies will re-evaluate piperacillin–tazobactam and temocillin as carbapenem-sparing agents in infection outside the urinary tract. However, whether the use of these drugs, and more generally de-escalation strategy, is associated...
The Gram-negative cell envelope presents both a major permeability barrier to antibiotics and a potential source of antibiotic targets. In particular, Bcc species are known for their impermeable cell envelope (~10 fold less permeable compared to E. coli22,23), which contributes to extreme resistanc...
Some of the antibiotic disc abbreviations are easy to remember (e.g., TET for tetracycline) but others are less straightforward (e.g., CN for gentamicin). C, chloramphenicol; CIP, ciprofloxacin; ERY, Erythromycin; MRSA, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus; TOB, tobramycin. Once the zone...
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 usingquinolonesasE. coliis sensitive toquinolone. Some antibiotics are bactericidal (that can kill the bacteria), and some ...
