In this important paper, the authors demonstrate that the fitness cost of the VanA-type glycopeptide resistance cassettes that are carried by clinical methicillin-resistant S. aureus isolates is very high when induced by the presence of the antibiotic but very low in the absence of induction. ...
Antibiotic titrations are too laborious for the routine assessment of antibiotic activity in clinical practice, although a truncated form of the method, in which isolates are tested at agreedbreak pointsof sensitivity or resistance, is sometimes used. A common alternative method is thedisc diffusion ...
Poultry farms and LPMs are a reservoir of antimicrobial resistant bacteria and resistance genes from feces. The LPM is an important interface between humans, farm animals, and environments in a typical urban environment, and it is considered a reservoir for ARGs and viruses. However, the antibioti...
The results from both hospitals show extensive antibiotic prescribing. High use of combinations of antibiotics in the NTH might indicate pressure from pharmaceutical companies. There is a need to formulate and implement; based on local prescribing and resistance data; contextually appropriate antibiotic pr...
Methods Multilocs sequence typing and agar dilution methods were used to define the genotype and antibiotic resistance of C. jejuni, respectively. Results In total, 126 C. jejuni strains were isolated. The prevalence of C. jejuni was 5.3% in diarrheal patients. The prevalence in poultry meat (...
Respiratory pathogens, commonly colonizing nasopharynx, are among the leading causes of death due to antimicrobial resistance. Yet, antibiotic resistance determinants within nasopharyngeal microbial communities remain poorly understood. In this prospecti
A rise in antimicrobial resistance is the biggest danger, according to recent research. Due to a lack of information on alternate methods, ARMGs are still employed in the production of GM crops today. The creation of GM crops without ARMGs using alternative methods is crucial to addressing the...
The evolution of antibiotic resistance is one of the most serious challenges facing modern healthcare [1], causing over 1.2 million deaths and tens of millions of extra days in recovery per year [2,3]. While the evolution of antibiotic resistance has been extensively studied in laboratory mono...
