To investigate the sequence types (STs) and fluoroquinolone resistance related mutations among ciprofloxacin (CIP)-non-susceptible extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing isolated from Korean patients from 2006-2008. The prevalence of fluoroquinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) mutations in , and and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes were also studied. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was performed to identify STs. The most common ST was ST131 (33/51, 64.7%). All isolates, except one isolate, showed three mutations at codons 83 (S83L) and 87 (S87N) in and 80 (S80I) in The prevalence of ST131 in our hospital was much higher than reported in other Asian studies during a similar time period. The mutations found in ST131 were concordant with other studies.

A Sneaky Culprit: Secondary Infectious Keratitis Due to Brevundimonas diminuta.
Eye Contact Lens
January 2025
Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI.
Purpose: To describe a rare case of infectious keratitis secondary to Brevundimonas diminuta, a gram-negative bacillus with fluoroquinolone resistance and rare clinical isolation.
Methods: A 50-year-old man with contact lens overuse presented with a large corneal ulcer and hand motion visual acuity. Initial treatment with fortified topical tobramycin and vancomycin yielded slow improvement, and initial culture grew Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus hominis, and Corynebacterium bovis.
Unlabelled: . resistant to fluoroquinolones and macrolides are serious public health threats. Studies aiming to identify risk factors for drug-resistant have narrowly focused on antimicrobial use at the farm level.

Department of Integrative Biology, School of Biosciences and Technology, Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Vellore, 632014, Tamil Nadu, India.
The rising resistance to fluoroquinolones in Typhimurium poses a significant global health challenge. This computational research addresses the pressing need for new therapeutic drugs by utilizing various computational tools to identify potential natural compounds that can inhibit the triple mutant DNA gyrase subunit A enzyme, which is crucial in fluoroquinolone resistance. Initially, the three-dimensional structure of the wild-type DNA gyrase A protein was modeled using homology modeling, and followed by mutagenesis to create the clinically relevant triple mutant (SER83PHE, ASP87GLY, ALA119SER) DNA gyrase A protein structure.

Department of Critical Care Medicine, The Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, People's Republic of China.
Background: Rapid and accurate identification of causative organisms and prompt initiation of pathogen-targeted antibiotics are crucial for managing atypical pneumonia. The widespread application of targeted next-generation sequencing (t-NGS) in clinical practice demonstrates significant targeted advantages in rapid and accurate aetiological identification and antimicrobial resistance genes detection, particularly for difficult-to-culture, rare, or unexpected pathogens. An alarming surge of acquired macrolide resistance (MR) in (MP) presents a substantial challenge for the clinical selection of pathogen-targeted antibiotics worldwide, especially for fluoroquinolone-restricted pediatric patients with limited options available.

Department of Pharmacy Practice, School of Pharmacy, IMU University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
A systematic review was conducted to critically analyze the outbreaks, efficacy, and safety of drugs used to treat various infections. Four drugs-azithromycin, ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, and amoxicillin-are commonly used to treat infections, and all four drugs were included in this review. This review found that, of these, azithromycin and ceftriaxone were more effective in treating infections based on the patient's length of stay in the hospital and the rate at which the fever was resolved.
