Bacteria growing in biofilms are more resistant to antibiotics than their planktonic counterparts. How this transition occurs is unclear, but it is likely there are multiple mechanisms of resistance that act together in order to provide an increased overall level of resistance to the biofilm. We have identified a novel efflux pump in Pseudomonas aeruginosa that is important for biofilm-specific...

We continue to be warned about the risk of antibiotic resistance. This campaign has targeted medicine and agriculture, asking these industries to pay attention to the risks of widespread resistance and to cut the use of antibiotics wherever possible. However, there has been little to no mention of the widespread use of antibiotics in the scientific research community. As scientists we use antib...

The high use of antibiotics inappropriately among the community today causes problem antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance occurs when microorganisms have ability to withstand effects an drug. This can cause losses in terms health, economy, and public health. To prevent inappropriate antibiotics, education is carried out on how wisely, which good right. counseling method this service act...

antimicrobial resistance is one of the most severe threats to human health. the first report of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance in escherichia coli from animals, food, and humans was in 2015 from china. the current increasing trend of resistance is extremely troubling because polymyxins are the last-resort antibiotics for treating infections with carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae.
