Infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) can be challenging to treat because they are often resistant to many other antimicrobial agents. We assessed the susceptibility of 29 MRSP isolates from dogs to taurolidine in vitro. There was no growth at 0.12% taurolidine and light growth at 0.06% for all isolates. Taurolidine was reliable at inhibiting growth of MRSP at a concentration of 1,200 µg/mL.

Phenolic compounds, such as stilbenes and flavonoids, from spp. exhibit diverse biological activities, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxicity properties. To this end, the objectives of this study were to establish hairy root cultures of and assess its capacity to produce these bioactive compounds.

Inappropriate and excessive use of antibiotics is responsible for the rapid development of antimicrobial resistance, which is associated with increased patient morbidity and mortality. There is an urgent need to explore new antibiotics or alternative antimicrobial agents. a commensal microorganism but is also responsible for numerous infections.

The growing resistance of bacteria to antibiotics is a serious problem in health care. The present study aims to assess the drug resistance of , , and isolated from infections in a multispecialty hospital over a 6-year period. Identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were performed using the VITEK2 automated system (Biomerieux).

The overprescription of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture has accelerated the development and spread of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, which severely limits the arsenal available to clinicians for treating bacterial infections. This work discovered a new class of heteroarylcyanovinyl quinazolones and quinazolone pyridiniums to surmount the increasingly severe bacterial resistance. Bioactive assays manifested that the highly active compound exhibited strong inhibition against MRSA and with extremely low MICs of 0.

Vancomycin-intermediate (VISA) is a multi-drug-resistant pathogen of significant clinical concern. Various strains can cause infections, from skin and soft tissue infections to life-threatening conditions such as bacteremia and pneumonia. VISA infections, particularly bacteremia, are associated with high mortality rates, with 34% of patients succumbing within 30 days.
