We applied CRISPR-Cas9 genome engineering to knockout genes encoding two of the most frequently rediscovered antibiotics, streptothricin or streptomycin, in 11 actinomycete strains. We report that this simple approach led to production of different antibiotics that were otherwise masked. We were able...
“Superbugs,KlebsiellaandE. coli, are regarded as a critical threat by the United States Centres for Disease Control and Prevention as they become increasingly resistant to most commonly used antibiotics. “Our trial re-examined antibiotics already in use so that treatment practices could be updated ...
Escherichia coli is the commonest organism responsible for urinary tract infection and diarrhoea specially in developing countries like India. Probiot..Jagriti SharmaD. S. ChauhanAnkur Goyal
rates of enterococcus to teicoplanin and vancomycin were low.Conclusion E.coli and enterococcus were primary pathogens causing urinary tract infection of aged people.The resistance rates of those pathogens were high.More attention should be paid on rational selection and application of antibiotics. ...
Furthermore, antibiotic treatment on admission has been shown to be a risk factor for ICU-AI2,28,29, and early initiation of antibiotics was high throughout the pandemic, despite the low frequency of co-infections on admission in patients with COVID-19. On the other hand, it is possible ...
"They primarily use antibiotics symptomatically which is not a correct method for all ailments -- without blood and urine culture. Antibiotics can force the pathogen to develop resistance," Verma explained. "Since the clinical culture in India is different from that of the western countrie...

E. coli is responsible for over 80% of all urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children, with the most effective first line treatment being a course of antibiotics. Antibiotic resistance is a growing global issue, threatening health and food security around the world. Chief Medical Officer Dame ...
Antibiotics may be administered to treat or prevent the spread of infectious diseases in aquaculture as well [15]. Antibiotics in aquaculture are mainly administered through feed or immersion or by direct application into water [16,17]. Some studies indicated that approximately 70–80% of the ...
