Mar 5th, 2021 - Bacteria evolve resistance to antibiotics by a multitude of mechanisms. A central, yet unsolved question is how resistance evolution affects cell growth at different drug levels. Here, we develop a fitness model that predicts growth rates of commo...

Mar 4th, 2021 - Bacterial drug resistance is a significant food safety problem and public health threat. Plasmids carrying drug resistance genes may result in the rapid spread of resistance among different bacteria, hosts, and environments; therefore, antibiotic ...

Mar 4th, 2021 - The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and antibiotic resistance patterns of bacterial isolates from inpatients and outpatients in Mbale and Soroti regional referral hospitals in Eastern Uganda. A retrospective analysis of culture a...

Nov 14th, 2019 - CDC’s Antibiotic Resistance Threats in the United States, 2019 (2019 AR Threats Report) includes the latest national death and infection estimates that underscore the continued threat of antibiotic resistance in the U.S. According to the report, ...

May 23rd, 2019 - Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD; including chronic bronchitis and emphysema) is a chronic respiratory condition characterised by shortness of breath, cough and recurrent exacerbations. Long‐term antibiotic use may reduce both bacterial...

Apr 30th, 2019 - Over the past few decades, our ability to diagnose, treat, and manage recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI) long-term has evolved due to additional insights into the pathophysiology of rUTI, a new appreciation for the adverse effects of repetit...

Feb 1st, 2019 - The polymyxin antibiotics colistin (polymyxin E) and polymyxin B became available in the 1950s and thus did not undergo contemporary drug development procedures. Their clinical use has recently resurged, assuming an important role as salvage thera...

Feb 14th, 2018 - Gonorrhea has progressively developed resistance to the antibiotic drugs prescribed to treat it. Following the spread of gonococcal fluoroquinolone resistance, the cephalosporin antibiotics have been the foundation of recommended treatment for gon...

Feb 2nd, 2021 - Takeaway Influenza vaccination reduces prescriptions of a common antibiotic (amoxicillin) used to treat acute respiratory infections in older adults aged ≥65 years. This effect is also seen in a subgroup of patients aged over 75 years. Why this ma...

Jan 5th, 2021 - Wound cultures from patients with the rare disease epidermolysis bullosa (EB) were most frequently positive for Staphylococcus aureus (SA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA), and Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS) — and antibiotic resistance was common — in a...

Nov 22nd, 2020 - Find the latest COVID-19 news and guidance in Medscape's Coronavirus Resource Center. On July 1, 2020, when I began a rotation on the infectious disease consult service at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Atlanta, we had three patients with...

Aug 16th, 2020 - For patients with chronic leg edema and recurrent cellulitis, risk for future cellulitis is reduced by 77% by wearing compression stockings or wraps, researchers report. The effect was so striking that the randomized controlled trial was stopped e...

Aug 10th, 2020 - Most primary care physicians agree that antibiotic resistance and inappropriate prescribing are problems in the United States, but they are much less inclined to recognize these issues in their own practices, according to the results of a nationwi...
