Macrolide antibiotics are important for clinical treatment of infections caused by Campylobacter jejuni. Development of resistance to this class of antibiotics in Campylobacter is a complex process, and the dynamic molecular changes involved in this process remain poorly defined. Multiple lineages of macrolide-resistant mutants were selected by stepwise exposure of C. jejuni to escalating doses...
INTRODUCTION Acinetobacter baumannii is opportunistic in debilitated hospitalised patients. Because information from some South American countries was previously lacking, this study examined the emergence of multi-resistant A. baumannii in three hospitals in Cochabamba, Bolivia, from 2008 to 2009. METHODOLOGY Multiplex PCR was used to identify the main resistance genes in 15 multi-resistant A...
OBJECTIVES To investigate phenotypically and genotypically the presence of MDR efflux pumps in 21 clinical isolates of Staphylococcus haemolyticus collected over a period of 10 years. METHODS MICs of different antibiotics and biocides were determined by the broth dilution method in the presence/absence of carbonyl cyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), an efflux pump inhibitor. PCR followed ...
BACKGROUND Membrane permeability is the first step involved in resistance of bacteria to an antibiotic. The number and activity of efflux pumps and outer membrane proteins that constitute porins play major roles in the definition of intrinsic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria that is altered under antibiotic exposure. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here we describe the genetic regulation o...
Resistance to quinolones and fluoroquinolones is being increasingly reported among human but also veterinary isolates during the last two to three decades, very likely as a consequence of the large clinical usage of those antibiotics. Even if the principle mechanisms of resistance to quinolones are chromosome-encoded, due to modifications of molecular targets (DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV), ...
BACKGROUND Fluoroquinolone (FQ) resistance is increasing worldwide among Salmonella species. Among the mechanisms involved, increased efflux via the tripartite AcrAB-TolC efflux system is mainly modulated through control of expression via the ramRA regulatory locus gene products. Interestingly, in some reference strains these have also been experimentally shown to regulate cell invasion-related...
Fluoroquinolone treatment failure has been reported in patients with nalidixic acid-resistant Salmonella infections. Both chromosomal- and plasmid-mediated quinolone-resistance mechanisms have been described. The objective of this study was to identify the prevalence of these mechanisms in a collection of 41 Salmonella spp. clinical isolates causing acute gastroenteritis, obtained in the Hospit...
MexXY is an aminoglycoside-inducible multidrug transporter shown to contribute to intrinsic and acquired aminoglycoside resistance in laboratory isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. To assess its contribution to aminoglycoside resistance in 14 clinical isolates demonstrating a panaminoglycoside resistance phenotype unlikely to be explained solely by aminoglycoside modification, expression of mex...
Development of fluoroquinolone resistance can involve several mechanisms that include chromosomal mutations in genes ( gyrAB and parCE ) encoding the target bacterial topoisomerase enzymes, increased expression AcrAB-TolC efflux system, acquisition transmissible quinolone-resistance genes. In this study, 176 Salmonella isolates from animals with a broad range ciprofloxacin MICs were collected t...
Mucormycosis is a life-threatening opportunistic infection caused by certain members of the fungal order Mucorales. This associated with high mortality rate, which can reach nearly 100% depending on underlying condition patient. Treatment mucormycosis challenging because these fungi are intrinsically resistant to most routinely used antifungal agents, such as azoles. One possible mechanism azol...
