Dissemination of Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria into the Arctic
We show that Escherichia coli isolates originating from Arctic birds carry antimicrobial drug resistance determinants. This finding implies that dissemination of drug-resistant bacteria is worldwide. Resistance genes can be found even in a region where no selection pressure for resistance development exists.

ABSTRACT Background and objectives: The present study was conducted to detect class 1 integrons and evaluate antibiotic susceptibility patterns among clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa. Methods: Sixty clinical samples from blood, tracheal wounds, burns and uri...
متن کاملProspects for Success in Inhibiting the Growth of Multidrug-resistant Bacteria with Paromomycin
Streptomyces is the most important bacterial genus known to produce secondary antibiotic compounds. Considering the speed of bacterial resistance spread, it becomes more important to study less used compounds. Aminoglycosides disrupt the function of the target microorganism by acting on the protein-synthesis process. Paromomycin is an aminoglycoside that acts on a wide range of gram-positive, g...
متن کاملMultidrug-resistant bacteria: what is the threat?
Despite big advances in antimicrobial therapies and infection strategies, the emergence of antibiotic resistance represents an emergency situation, especially in immunocompromised hosts. Specifically, infections due to multidrug resistant, gram-negative pathogens are responsible for high mortality rates and may leave few effective antimicrobial options. Furthermore, although new compounds are a...
متن کاملMultidrug-Resistant Bacteria in Southeastern Austria
To the Editor: In many parts of the world, the proportions of methicil-lin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant en-terococci, and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)–producing organisms in the family Enterobacteriaceae have increased remarkably during recent years (1). However, proportions of antimicrobial drug resistance vary substantially at national and regional leve...
