Antibiotic-resistant bacteria present a severe clinical threat to human health, and polymer materials play an essential role in the delivery of antibiotics to inhibit or annihilate target bacterial and similar
patients with antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections consume more healthcare resources and have worse clinical outcomes, such as death [1], compared with patients with antibiotic-sensitive bacterial infections. It is estimated thatantibioticresistance may be the major cause of mortality by 2050 all ov...
In a first-of-its-kind report, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced today that bacterial infections that can't be treated with the antibiotics of last resort have emerged in every part of the world
The new test developed at California Institute of Technology that identifies antibiotic-resistant bacteria could shorten wait times from 3 days to less than 30 minutes and could help reduce the spread of superbug bacteria, according to the study published this week in Science Translational Medicine. ...
2. Drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniaeCurrent/Emerging Resistant Bacteria Infection Types Resistance Notes Drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae S. pneumoniae causes pneumococcal disease. The most common bacterial cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), a serious lung disease, is Streptococcus ...
Antibiotics are the foundation of modern medicine and over the last century have dramatically improved the lives of people around the world. Nowadays we tend to take antibiotics for granted and rely heavily on them to treat or prevent bacterial infections, including for example, to reduce the risk...
As a consequence, adding a β-lactamase inhibitor that is commonly used to potentiate treatment against β-lactam-resistant strains can reduce rather than increase treatment efficacy. Together, these results underscore the importance of systematic mapping the long-term clearance efficacy of drug ...
even when caused by non-resistant bacteria, biofilm-associated infections are difficult to eradicate and regrowth of surviving biofilm bacteria when antibiotic treatment stops is a typical cause of therapeutic failure due to bacterial infection relapse19,20,21. The emergence of antibiotic resistance withi...
A new technique which targets antibiotic-resistant bacteria and shields patients from the toxic parts of an antibiotic drug has been developed by Cardiff University scientists. Dr. Elaine Ferguson from Cardiff University's School of Dentistry has utilized a new technique which attaches tiny nano-sized...
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria may transmit their resistance genes to better-adapted indigenous bacteria, increasing the resistance reservoir. Handling strategies for BW and more conservative use of antibiotics may help to retain powerful antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine for future generations. ...
