The effect of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Berberies vulgaris on multidrug- resistant gram-negative pathogenic bacteria
Background and Aim: In recent years, due to the indiscriminate and irrational use of synthetic drugs, the resistance of pathogenic microorganisms has increased; therefore, new compounds are vitally needed. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Berberis vulgaris on Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteu...
متن کاملA paradigm shift in drug development for treatment of rare multidrug-resistant gram-negative pathogens.
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative pathogens pose a major threat to patients worldwide. Although the organisms remain relatively uncommon overall, their incidence is steadily increasing with associated increases in mortality and pharmacoeconomic impact. As evidenced by the dearth of new products in the pipeline or in clinical use, the conventional paradigm for the development of drugs agai...
متن کاملThe Increasing Challenge of Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacilli
Colonization and infection by multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacilli (MDR GNB) in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are increasingly reported.We conducted a 5-year prospective cohort surveillance study in a tertiary NICU of the hospital "Paolo Giaccone," Palermo, Italy. Our objectives were to describe incidence and trends of MDR GNB colonization and the characteristics of the most preval...
متن کاملPredatory Bacteria: A Potential Ally against Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Pathogens
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria have emerged as a serious threat to human and animal health. Bdellovibrio spp. and Micavibrio spp. are Gram-negative bacteria that prey on other Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, the ability of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus and Micavibrio aeruginosavorus to prey on MDR Gram-negative clinical strains was examined. Although the potential use of p...
متن کاملCXC Chemokines Exhibit Bactericidal Activity against Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Pathogens
The continued rise and spread of antimicrobial resistance among bacterial pathogens pose a serious challenge to global health. Countering antimicrobial-resistant pathogens requires a multifaceted effort that includes the discovery of novel therapeutic approaches. Here, we establish the capacity of the human CXC chemokines CXCL9 and CXCL10 to kill multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, incl...
