Moreover, within-patient antibiotic resistance evolution has been described for various bacterial pathogens, including E. coli or Mycobacterium tuberculosis82,83,84, where infection was suspected to originate from biofilms85,86,87,88,89. In this study, we used adaptive experimental evolution to show...
People who have a weakened immune system also have an increased risk for bacterial pneumonia. These include those who recently had anorgan transplant. People who areHIVpositive, or who haveleukemia,lymphoma, or severekidney diseasealso stand a greater chance of developing the infection. Symptoms The...

Those alterations create an ideal microenvironment for lung infection by P. aeruginosa [2]. P. aeruginosa is intrinsically resistant to many antimicrobials, having a limited outer membrane permeability, expressing a wide variety of efflux pumps and producing AmpC, an inducible cephalosporinase. It ...
Other measures include clinical and radiologic surveillance for surgically treatable entities such as pulmonary gangrene, lung abscess, and empyema. Third-generation cephalosporins or quinolones provide coverage for community-acquired K pneumoniae infection. In one study, combination therapy with aminoglycosides...
The term "microbiome" refers to the collection of bacterial species that reside in the human body's tissues. Sometimes, it is used to refer t
