was inactive againstE. coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Pseudomonas aeruginosaandAcinetobacter baumannii, it also displayed activity against four G-ve bacteria:N. gonorrhoeae,Neisseria meningitidis,M. catarrhalisandL. pneumophila[122]. It was also demonstrated that18was active against MSSA and MRSA biofilms, wa...
, or E. coli., and either kill the bacteria (bactericidal) or keep it from reproducing and growing (bacteriostatic). And remember, antibiotics do not work against viral infections, like a cold, most coughs or COVID.When should I use an antibiotic?
For E coli intra-abdominal abscess, antibiotics must include anaerobic coverage (eg, ampicillin/sulbactam or metronidazole). In severe infection, piperacillin/tazobactam, ertapenem, or meropenem may be used. Combination therapy with antibiotics that cover E coli plus an antianaerobe can also be used ...
Here we studied in vitro emergence of resistance to 13 antibiotics introduced after 2017 or currently in development, compared with in-use antibiotics. Laboratory evolution showed that clinically relevant resistance arises within 60 days of antibiotic exposure in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, ...
Across an eleven-hospital system, common urinary pathogens (E. coli, Proteus species, and Klebsiella species) had greater than 80% coverage with cefazolin, which was within 0-8% of ceftriaxone coverage based on the local antibiograms. With increased risk of C. difficile infection and resistance...
In the absence of tools to make precise gene deletions, it is sometimes possible to disrupt genes using a suicide vector approach, that is, by introducing a non-replicating vector through conjugation with E. coli. A suicide vector approach to disrupt the nystatin P1 antifungal BGC was successful...
The need for new antibacterial drugs to treat the increasing global prevalence of drug-resistant bacterial infections has clearly attracted global attention, with a range of existing and upcoming funding, policy, and legislative initiatives designed to r
Halicin, surprisingly, was potent not only againstE. coli, the bacteria the AI algorithm was trained on, but also on more deadly pathogens, including those that cause tuberculosis and colon inflammation. Notably, Halicin was potent against drug resistantAcinetobacter baumanni. This bacter...
