Two page summaries of cross-cutting and bacteriaspecific antibiotic resistance topics. The first section provides context and an overview of antibiotic resistance.Antimicrobial resistance: global report on surveillance. Resistance to antibacterial drugs in selected bacteria of international concern. Previously harmful agents that is known today as antimicrobial resistance. Currently antimicrobi...

conclusions: silver nanoparticles showed great antibacterial effectiveness on four important foodborne pathogens. therefore, ag nps could be a good alternative for cleaning and disinfection of equipment and surfaces in food-related environments. results: the mic values of ag nps against tested pathogens were in the range of 3.12-6.25 µg/ml. while listeria monocytogenes showed the mic value of 6...

Bacterial pathogens have evolved a wide range of strategies to colonize and invade human organs, despite the presence of multiple host defense mechanisms. In this review, we will describe how pathogenic bacteria can adhere and multiply at the surface of host cells, how some bacteria can enter and proliferate inside these cells, and finally how pathogens may cross epithelial or endothelial host ...

Pathogens infecting mammalian cells have developed various strategies to suppress and evade their hosts’ defensive mechanisms. In this line, the intracellular bacteria that are able to survive and propagate within their host cells must have developed strategies to avert their host’s killing attitude. Studying the interface of host-pathogen confrontation can provide valuable information for defi...

background and objectives: in the present study, isolation of streptomyces associated with marine sponges and its bioactive potential against fish and shellfish pathogens were assessed. the streptomyces sp. were isolated from the marine sponges namely callyspongia diffusa, mycale mytilorum, tedania anhelans and dysidea fragilis collected from vizhinjam port, situated in the south-west coast of ...

The antimicrobial activity of the mangrove plant extract of Sonneratia apetala on the various test microorganisms, including clinical multiple antibiotic resistant bacteria and phytopathogens were investigated. Antimicrobial activities of the extracts were determined by the well diffusion method. In vitro screening of S. apetala mangrove plant extracts of showed species specific activity in inh...

Since ancient times, even in today's modern world, infectious diseases cause lots of people to die. Infectious organisms, pathogens, cause diseases by physical interactions with human proteins. A thorough analysis of these interspecies interactions is required to provide insights about infection strategies of pathogens. Here we analyzed the most comprehensive available pathogen-human protein in...
