Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the increasing use of silver in wound care and the potential for silver-resistance and cross-resistance to β-lactam antibiotics in bacterial isolates from chronic wounds in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
- - Researchers analyzed 317 wound samples, finding a high resistance rate (59%) to carbapenems and showing a significant overlap (65%) between silver-resistance genes and extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs).
- - The findings indicate that silver-resistance and ESBL co-occurrence is detected for the first time in Bangladesh, emphasizing the need for careful treatment strategies and the development of new therapies for wound infections.
