Evaluating virulence features of Acinetobacter baumannii resistant to polymyxin B.

The increasing resistance to polymyxins in Acinetobacter baumannii has made it even more urgent to develop new treatments. Anti-virulence compounds have been researched as a new solution. Here, we evaluated the modification of virulence features of A.

Genetic basis of antibiotic resistance in bovine mastitis and its possible implications for human and ecological health.

Bovine mastitis is a mammary gland inflammation that can occur due to infectious pathogens, and , which are, respectively, the most prevalent Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria associated with this disease. Currently, antibiotic treatment has become more complicated due to the presence of resistant pathogens. This review, therefore, aims to identify the most common resistance genes reported for these strains in the last four years.
