Tracking the evolution and persistence of antibiotic resistance in the human gut Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a growing health threat, but its evolution outside laboratory settings is poorly understood
There has been a lot of debate in this regard but the outcome seems to be very disappointing. Added to the situation there are no proper data on per cent raise in antibiotic resistance. The growing threat from resistant bacteria calls for concerted action, to prevent the emergence of new ...
Losee Ling and colleagues detect no bacterial resistance to the new antibiotic molecule teixobactin (L. L. Ling et al. Nature 517, 455-459; 2015), but this could be because the conditions of their test may limit its sensitivity (see......
Resistance to available antibiotics in pathogenic bacteria is currently a global challenge since the number of strains that are resistant to multiple types of antibiotics has increased dramatically each year and has spread worldwide. To unlock this problem, the use of an ‘antibiotic adjuvant’ in ...
In order to put in evidence a possible link between the resistance of Gram negative marine bacteria to antibiotics, to cadmium and their respiratory metabolism, nine antibiotics belonging to aminoglycosides, macrolides and related, lactams, tetracyclines or polymixins were tested on 222 wild strains....
This review discusses the development of antibiotic resistance and tolerance in bacteria due to biofilm formation, the tolerance mechanisms, and the development of persistent cells that induce antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Recent strategies to combat antibiotic resistance are also discussed....
This study is aimed at determining the resistance of bacteria to heavy metals and some antibiotics. The ability of aquatic bacteria isolates from Otamiri River at Ihiagwa in Owerri North, Imo State to tolerate or resist the presence of certain selected heavy metals: Pb+, Zn2+ and Fe2+ and...
Antibiotic Resistance of Bacteria to 6 Antibiotics in Secondary Effluents of Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants污水处理厂二级出水中总异养菌群对6种抗生素的耐受性研究总异养菌数抗生素抗性菌耐受性半抑制浓度污水回用Prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in wastewater effluents is concerned as an emerging ...
The bacteria which can't be treated with colistin can be destroyed by using other antibiotics for now, but the concern is that it will share its resistance with other bugs to create untreatable infections. 粘菌素无法治疗的细菌目前可以通过使用其他抗生素来消灭,但令人担忧的是,它会与其他细菌共享耐...
Antibiotic exposure at the beginning of life can lead to increased antimicrobial resistance and perturbations of the developing microbiome. Early-life microbiome disruption increases the risks of developing chronic diseases later in life. Fear of missing evolving neonatal sepsis is the key driver for an...
