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. Bacteria living in the human gut are now found to evolve persistent resistance after brief...
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 ...
Adaptive resistance to antibiotics in bacteria: A systems biology perspective. Wiley Interdiscip Rev Syst Biol Med 2016;8:253‑67. doi: 10.1002/wsbm.1335. Address for correspondence: Prof. Zhan‑Cheng Gao, Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Peking University People's Hospital,...
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 ...
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....
The effectiveness of conventional antibiotics has been declining in the past decades due to the emergence of resistant bacteria1,2,3. Most alarming is the accelerated appearance of antibiotic resistance in the bacteria known as ESKAPE pathogens (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneu...
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....
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...
"It informs us of how bacteria can pick up the resistance," Palmore said. "Efforts to control these bacteria need to focus on containing them by isolating patients who are carriers of the bacteria and also by disinfecting the hospital environment where thebacteriamight live." ...
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...
