Over the last decade, bacterial resistance has increased alarmingly among nosocomial gram-negative bacilli (GNB) in intensive care units (ICUs). In Pseudomonas aeruginosa imipenem-resistance (R) was 18%, quinolone-R 27%, cephalosporin-R 26%, extended spectrum 尾-lactamase (ESBL)-producing ...

Antibiotic resistance, for example with MRSA, is a growing problem and experts have long warned of the need to develop new treatments. The latest research, done by a team at New York University, showed that in bacteria the production of nitric oxide―a small molecule made up of one nitrogen...

In 2025, the CDC will begin releasing data on 19 AR threats and and an update on the US burden of antimicrobial resistance in electronic format. Additional public health actions include:Appropriate antibiotic and antifungal use Accurate laboratory detection Rapid response Effective infection prevention ...
Our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of resistance has recently increased as a result of advances in systems biology, genomics and structural biology. New knowledge about antibiotic resistance should be used to inform the design of novel therapeutic agents that might not be subject to, or ...
Development of antibiotic resistant bacteria is a growing problem. We may still have some time before we’re faced with examples of total bacterial resistance, but there have been reports of isolated cases where bacteria have shown resistance of most, if not all antibiotics. In the Jan. 13, ...
Germs with unusual resistance cannot be killed by most antibiotics, making them hard to treat. They are relatively uncommon in the US. These germs have genes that allow them to spread their resistance to other germs. One reason antibiotic-resistant bacteria develop is the overuse and misuse of ...

In ICUs, the de-escalation algorithm reduces the duration of treatment and frequency of microbial resistance with- out increasing mortality [3, 18–20]. Other studies con- ducted in Turkey, indicate such de-escalation is necessary in 10% of the cases [15]. On the other hand, the ...
