Cell-free supernatant of 1A-TV shows a promising activity to eradicate carbapenem-resistant colonization.

Background: The use of beneficial bacteria like spp. is a potential innovative approach to fight antibiotic-resistant pathogens. is one of the most concerning multi drug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, and its ability to colonize the human gut is considered to be the main reason for recurrent infections in critically ill patients.

New Antimicrobial Resistance Strategies: An Adaptive Resistance Network Conferring Reduced Glycopeptide Susceptibility in VISA.

: Vancomycin-intermediate (VISA) emerges typically in the healthcare-associated methicillin-resistant and more rarely in community-acquired (CA-MRSA). VISA is a serious concern for public health due to its association with persistent infections, the failure of vancomycin treatment, and poor clinical outcomes. Currently, the burden of VISA is somewhat high, even though vancomycin is the mainstay treatment for severe MRSA infections.

Balancing the Virulence and Antimicrobial Resistance in VISA DAP-R CA-MRSA Superbug.

Background: Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) with intermediate resistance to Vancomycin (VISA) is reported worldwide. These strains frequently emerge among hospital-associated (HA)-MRSA and rarely within community-acquired (CA)-MRSA. Here, the genomic and transcriptomic adaptations distinguishing VISA daptomycin resistant (DAP-R) CA-MRSA, which emerged in a hospitalized patient under glycopeptide treatment, were explored.

Colistin Resistance Onset Strategies and Genomic Mosaicism in Clinical Lineages.

The treatment of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative infections is based on colistin. As result, COL-resistance (COL-R) can develop and spread. In , a crucial step is to understand COL-R onset and stability, still far to be elucidated.

Oregano and Thyme Essential Oils Encapsulated in Chitosan Nanoparticles as Effective Antimicrobial Agents against Foodborne Pathogens.

The use of natural compounds with biocidal activity to fight the growth of bacteria responsible for foodborne illness is one of the main research challenges in the food sector. This study reports the preparation and physicochemical characterization of chitosan nanoparticles loaded with (Th-CNPs) and (Or-CNPs) essential oils. The nanosystems were obtained by ionotropic gelation technique with high encapsulation efficiency (80-83%) and loading capacity (26-27%).
