Antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic enteric pathogens.
Antimicrobial resistance is a zoonotic health threat. As in humans, the use of antimicrobial agents in animals results in the emergence and spread of resistant bacteria. Resistant bacteria from animals may be passed to humans via the food chain or direct animal contact, and may result in resistant infections. Increasing prevalence of resistance to antimicrobial agents such as fluoroquinolones a...
متن کاملNew antimicrobial peptide active against Gram-positive pathogens.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Human and animal cystatins have been shown to inhibit the replication of certain viruses and bacteria, though it is not directly demonstrated that the effects are due to protease inhibitory capacity of the cystatins. We report antibacterial properties of a novel antimicrobial peptidyl derivative, (2S)-2-(N(alpha)-benzyloxycarbonyl-arginyl-leucylamido)-1-[(E)-cinnamoylami...

متن کاملAntimicrobial activity of Zatacin against bacterial diarrheal pathogens
Background: Calf diarrhea is an important disease that is caused by different pathogens including bacteria, virus and parasites and is associated with economic losses. Objectives: In this study, we evaluated the antibacterial activities of Zatacin (Z. multiflora aerial part ethanol extract), colistin, co-Trimoxazole and enrofloxacin against clinical isolates of Salmonella sp, E. coli and Campyl...
متن کاملIn vitro activities of designed antimicrobial peptides against multidrug-resistant cystic fibrosis pathogens.
The emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens renders antibiotics ineffective in the treatment of lung infections in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Designed antimicrobial peptides (DAPs) are laboratory-synthesized peptide antibiotics that demonstrate a wide spectrum of antibacterial activity. Optimal conditions for susceptibility testing of these peptides have not yet been established. Me...
