Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa's inherent and adapted resistance makes this pathogen a serious problem for antimicrobial treatments. Furthermore, its biofilm formation ability is the most critical armor against antimicrobial therapy, and the virulence factors, on the other hand, contribute to fatal infection and other recalcitrant phenotypic characteristics. These capabilities are harmonized through cell-cell communication called Quorum Sensing (QS), which results in gene expression regulation via three major interconnected circuits: las, rhl, and pqs system.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the leading causes of infection worldwide due to its antimicrobial resistance. Plant-derived essential oils (EOs) have undergone extensive observational and clinical research to explore their antimicrobial properties. The present study aimed to check mec A positive MRSA isolates using sequencing analysis, determination of chemical composition using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), antioxidant, and antimicrobial activity of Anethum graveolens and Piper betle EOs against the infectious agent MRSA.

Role of glycosylation in bacterial resistance to carbapenems.

World J Microbiol Biotechnol

January 2025

School of Medicine, Faculty of Life Science & Medicine, Northwest University, Xi'an, China.

Carbapenems are a class of β-lactam antibacterial drugs with a broad antibacterial spectrum and strong activity, commonly used to treat serious bacterial infections. However, improper or excessive use of carbapenems can lead to increased bacterial resistance, which is a significant concern as they are often used as last resort for treating multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative bacteria. Confronted with this challenge, it is crucial to comprehensively understand the mechanism of carbapenem resistance to develop effective therapeutic strategies and innovative drugs.
