Sesquiterpene farnesol contributes to increased susceptibility to β-lactams in strains of Burkholderia pseudomallei.
This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro combination of farnesol and β-lactams against Burkholderia pseudomallei. A total of 12 β-lactamase-positive strains were tested according to CLSI standards. All strains were inhibited by farnesol, with MICs ranging from 75 to 150 μM. The combination of this compound with β-lactams resulted in statistically significant β-lactam MIC reduction (P ≤ 0.05). ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Anti biofilm and Antibiotic Potentiation Activities of Silver Nanoparticles Against some Nosocomial Pathogens
Nowadays silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are used as antimicrobial due to its well known physical, chemical, and biological properties. A large collection of bacterial cells adhering to a surface is called bacterial biofilm. Exposure to silver nano particles (AgNPs) may prevent colonization of new bacteria onto the biofilm. In the present work, we have investigated whether the biofilm format...
متن کاملInvolvement of the Efflux Pumps in Chloramphenicol Selected Strains of Burkholderia thailandensis: Proteomic and Mechanistic Evidence
Burkholderia is a bacterial genus comprising several pathogenic species, including two species highly pathogenic for humans, B. pseudomallei and B. mallei. B. thailandensis is a weakly pathogenic species closely related to both B. pseudomallei and B. mallei. It is used as a study model. These bacteria are able to exhibit multiple resistance mechanisms towards various families of antibiotics. By...
متن کاملEfflux-mediated aminoglycoside and macrolide resistance in Burkholderia pseudomallei.
Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, is intrinsically resistant to a wide range of antimicrobial agents including beta-lactams, aminoglycosides, macrolides, and polymyxins. We used Tn5-OT182 to mutagenize B. pseudomallei to identify the genes involved in aminoglycoside resistance. We report here on the identification of AmrAB-OprA, a multidrug efflux system in B. pseud...
متن کاملفراوانی بتالاکتامازهای وسیع الطیف در بین ایزوله های اشریشیاکلی یوروپاتوژنیک بیمارستان ابن سینای شهرستان دلفان، استان لرستان
Background : The most common cause of resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics in Escherichia coli is resulted from beta-lactamase enzymes production. Unfortunately, some of these enzymes, called “Extended-spectrum betalactamases” are able to make inactive new third-generation cephalosporins as well as aztheronam. Several studies have reported the prevalence of ESBLs in Iran as well as other regio...
