Intrinsic and acquired resistance mechanisms in enterococcus
Enterococci have the potential for resistance to virtually all clinically useful antibiotics. Their emergence as important nosocomial pathogens has coincided with increased expression of antimicrobial resistance by members of the genus. The mechanisms underlying antibiotic resistance in enterococci may be intrinsic to the species or acquired through mutation of intrinsic genes or horizontal exc...
متن کاملMechanisms of polymyxin resistance: acquired and intrinsic resistance in bacteria
Polymyxins are polycationic antimicrobial peptides that are currently the last-resort antibiotics for the treatment of multidrug-resistant, Gram-negative bacterial infections. The reintroduction of polymyxins for antimicrobial therapy has been followed by an increase in reports of resistance among Gram-negative bacteria. Some bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and ...
متن کاملNew Insights in to the Intrinsic and Acquired Drug Resistance Mechanisms in Mycobacteria
Infectious diseases caused by clinically important Mycobacteria continue to be an important public health problem worldwide primarily due to emergence of drug resistance crisis. In recent years, the control of tuberculosis (TB), the disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), is hampered by the emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR), defined as resistance to at least isoniazid (INH) an...
متن کاملintrinsic and acquired methicillin-resistance detection in staphylococcus aureus and its relevance in therapeutics
conclusions methicillin resistance is a specialized concern in clinical studies, and it is mandatory to detect this mechanism by an accurate method that is updated periodically. increasing the resistance of s. aureus to multiple antibiotics underlines the need for intermittent resistance surveillance. results methicillin resistance was detected in 38% of s. aureus isolates, confirmed by the aga...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms and Clinical Impact of Acquired and Intrinsic Fosfomycin Resistance.
Bacterial infections caused by antibiotic-resistant isolates have become a major health problem in recent years, since they are very difficult to treat, leading to an increase in morbidity and mortality. Fosfomycin is a broad-spectrum bactericidal antibiotic that inhibits cell wall biosynthesis in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. This antibiotic has a unique mechanism of action an...
