31 Automated antibiograms can incorporate chronic medical conditions to guide empiric therapies that are better targeted to patients with risk factors for infection with antimicrobial-resistant organisms. For example, criteria using ICD-10 coding and previous clinical encounters can group medically complex...
B2088-gatifloxacin/tobramycin combinations decrease intracellular bacterial load. P. aeruginosa has been shown to invade the corneal epithelial cells during infection and the invaded pathogen evades antibiotic therapy. To ascertain if the peptide and the drug combinations decreased the intracellular ...
The two Gram-positive bacteria are fairly separated along the PC-1 axis, which explains the 18% of the total variance in the data set. The PC-1 loadings values are plotted in Figure S3 and represent the spectral differences among the bacterial species. The highest variance values correspond ...
p-value < 0.001). There was a strong statistical association between previous colonization and subsequent development of infection (OR = 80.6, 95% CI 4.5–1458.6,p-value < 0.001). Factors associated with the risk of infection in colonized patients also included a higher Charlson comorbidity index...

aureus Two different bacterial species, one Gram-negative and one Gram-positive were used in the study. P. aeruginosa and S. aureus were chosen since both species represent major human pathogens Molecules 2018, 23, 3152 3 of 19 which are often associated with multi-drug resistant strains, ...
In vivo efficacy of combinations of novel antimicrobial peptide SPR741 and rifampicin in short-duration murine thigh infection models of Gram-negative bacterial infection. Poster Monday-561. In Proceedings of the ASM Microbe 2016—American Society for Microbiology Conference, Boston, CA, USA, 16–20...
coli; however, it reduced the bacterial fitness and displayed highly attenuated virulence in a Galleria mellonella (wax moth) model of infection. Their findings further demonstrated that the expression of mcr-1 must be strictly controlled in order to maintain both bacterial fitness and colistin ...
This is distinct from the gram-positive bacteria which have a thick peptidoglycan cell wall. Gram-negative bacteria are ubiquitous in nature and cause infection in multiple body sites including the urinary tract, lower respiratory tract, biliary tract, and bloodstream, among others. Due in large ...
coli. When the compounds were used alone, bacterial growth was observed. Combinations containing AA230 (either at 1 µg/mL or at 0.5 µg/mL) and 64–512 µg/mL of EDTA showed synergistic effects and had similar time-kill profiles, with a bactericidal effect observed after 18–24 h...
