Resistance to Bacterial Pathogens in Plants

To successfully infect a plant, pathogens must overcome three layers of defense: (1) preformedphysical barriers; (2) a cell-surface-based surveillance system that detects conserved pathogenmolecules and (3) an intracellular surveillance system that detects effector proteins injected into host cells. Bacterial plant pathogens overcome the first layer either by invading through natural openings a...

Prevalence and antibiotic resistance of bacterial pathogens isolated from childhood diarrhoea in four provinces of Kenya.

INTRODUCTION Diarrhoea is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality among children in sub-Saharan Africa, and one of the main causes of hospital admissions in rural areas of Kenya. In Kenya, antimicrobial resistance surveillance has been conducted only at the institutional levels, with limited sharing of information and analysis of data. As a result, the actual scale of regional or nati...

Antibiotic Resistance, Part 1: Gram-positive Pathogens

The Jo 70 ABSTRACT Antibiotics have been instrumental in reducing mortality and morbidity associated with bacterial infections. However, antibiotic resistance has been increasing at an alarming rate due to overuse and inappropriate utilization. The emergence of resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and enterococci is of concern. The increasing incidence of resistance in ...
