The aim of this study was to determine a susceptibility of 223 clinical strains Klebsiella to 11 antimicrobial agents and occurrence ESBL-positive strains. These strains were isolated from clinical specimens during 2006 year. Susceptibility of these strains against antimicrobial agents was determined with disc diffusion method according to CLSI recommendation. None of the analysed strains was resistant to imipenem. The Klebsiella pneumonie strains were most frequently isolated from respiratory tract.

is a pathogenic bacterium that can infect humans and animals, yet the role of its outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) in mediating pathogenicity remains underexplored. This study evaluated the effects of linoleic acid (LA) and stearic acid (SA) on quorum sensing (QS)-mediated violacein production, biofilm formation, and OMV biogenesis in . Our findings revealed that 2 mM LA and 1 mM SA effectively quench QS, leading to a significant reduction in violacein production, biofilm formation, and OMV biogenesis.

Background: The mechanisms underlying the resistance of the genus to aminoglycosides are complex, which poses a challenge for the efficient treatment of infectious diseases caused by these pathogens. To help clinicians treat infections more effectively, a more comprehensive understanding of antibiotic resistance mechanisms is urgently needed.
Methods: Plates were streaked to isolate bacteria from the intestinal contents of fish.

The growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has underlined the need for a sustained supply of novel antimicrobial agents. Endophyte microorganism that reside within plant tissues as symbionts have been the source of potential antimicrobial substances. However, many novel and potent antimicrobials are yet to be discovered from these endophytes.

Background: Musculoskeletal (NTM) infections are rare, particularly post-acupuncture therapy, and present diagnostic challenges due to their infrequency and potential severity. Prompt recognition and appropriate management are crucial for optimal outcomes. NTM-infected wounds involving the joints are difficult to treat, and only a few cases have been reported.
