However, the heavy usage of antibiotics has led to the emergence of resistance. Antibiotic residues, antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes are introduced into the terrestrial and aquatic environments via application of human and animal wastes. The emergence and the spread of antibiotic resistance in ...
Atterx is developing novel products that prevent and treat antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. Antibiotics and have saved millions of lives since they were introduced decades ago. Bacteria that were once easy to treat with antibiotics are now
In 2024, we have several examples of people thinking beyond the box for antibiotic resistant bacteria. We have a classic example that brings us back to the beginning of the 20th century, when something called bacteriophages was being used the Soviet Union, and people in the Western world didn...
As a result, standard antibiotic treatments become ineffective and infections persist, increasing the risk of severe consequences to the patient. How does Antibiotic Resistance Occur? The development of resistant bacteria is a natural phenomenon that is exacerbated and accelerated by the inappropriate use...
Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is a commitment to preserving antimicrobial efficacy for future generations through appropriate use of these treatments. The goal of antimicrobial stewardship initiatives is to ensure that the right antibiotic is given to the right patient at the right time, with the rig...
coli in food chains (Table 4) can be due to many factors, including the use of antibiotics in livestock and contamination of livestock feed with ESBL-producing E. coli [19,20]. Show abstract Boosting the antibacterial activity of chitosan–gold nanoparticles against antibiotic–resistant bacteria ...
Mechanisms of β-lactam antimicrobial resistance and epidemiology of major community- and healthcare-associated multidrug-resistant bacteria Alexander Fleming's discovery of penicillin heralded an age of antibiotic development and healthcare advances that are premised on the ability to prevent a...

It is now well known that immunization with neoglycocon- jugates composed of capsular polysaccharide-derived glycans covalently coupled to an immunogenic protein carrier (conjugate vaccines) induces long-lasting protec- tion against encapsulated bacteria, even among persons in high-risk groups13,14. ...
How does Antibiotic Resistance Occur? The development of resistant bacteria is a natural phenomenon that is exacerbated and accelerated by the inappropriate use of antibiotics in the fields of human and animal health and the inadequate infection control. ...
