Anti-biofilm molecules targeting functional amyloids
The choice of an effective therapeutic strategy in the treatment of biofilm-related infections is a significant issue. Amyloids, which have been historically related to human diseases, are now considered to be prevailing ... -
Cloning, nucleotide sequencing, and analysis of the AcrAB-TolC efflux pump of enterobacter cloacae and determination of its involvement in antibiotic resistance in a clinical isolate
Enterobacter cloacae is an emerging clinical pathogen that may be responsible for nosocomial infections. Management of these infections is often difficult, owing to the high frequency of strains that are resistant to ... -
Fitness cost evolution of natural plasmids of staphylococcus aureus
Plasmids have largely contributed to the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes among Staphylococcus strains. Knowledge about the fitness cost that plasmids confer on clinical staphylococcal isolates and the coevolutionary ... -
Genomics of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis from periprosthetic joint infections and correlation to clinical outcome
The approach of sequencing or genotyping to characterize the pathogenic potential of staphylococci from orthopedic device-related infection (ODRI) has been applied in recent studies. These studies described the genomic ... -
Inactivation of the Thymidylate synthase thyA in non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae modulates antibiotic resistance and has a strong impact on its interplay with the host airways
Antibacterial treatment with cotrimoxazol (TxS), a combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole, generates resistance by, among others, acquisition of thymidine auxotrophy associated with mutations in the thymidylate ...
