Purpose Of Review: To correlate the resistance mechanisms and the susceptibility to new antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa .
Recent Findings: Definition of antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is still debated. Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) and difficult-to-treat resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (DTR-PA) are used but which of them better correlate with the risk of mortality remains debated. Mechanisms underlying resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa are complex and may be combined, resulting in unpredictable phenotype and cross-resistance. Thus, not all CRPA are alike and tailoring antibiotic therapy on resistance mechanisms is challenging.
Summary: Current guidelines recommend the use of new antipseudomonal agents for CRPA or DTR-PA infections but they don't provide specific information on how tailoring antibiotic therapy on underlying resistance mechanisms. This review may be useful to understand which mechanisms are involved in CRPA and may have practical implications helping clinicians to select an appropriate antibiotic regimen. Several antibiotics are now available for Pseudomonas aeruginosa but their rational use is important to avoid development of future resistance. The knowledge of local epidemiology and most common resistance mechanisms may guide empirical therapy, but targeted antibiotic therapy should be re-evaluated as soon as susceptibility testing profile is available and selected according to Pseudomonas aeruginosa phenotype.

A strategy for controlling Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae: inhibition of ClpV expression.
BMC Microbiol
January 2025
The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University, Xinxiang, China.
The emergence and prevalence of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) have proposed a great challenge to control this infection. Therefore, exploring some new drugs or strategies for treating hvKP infection is an urgent issue for scientific researchers. In the present study, the clpV gene deletion strain of hvKP (ΔclpV-hvKP) was constructed using CRISPR-Cas9 technology, and the biological characteristics of ΔclpV-hvKP were investigated to explore the new targets for controlling this pathogen.

Background: The investigation into risk factors, molecular epidemiology, and resistance mechanisms of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) in pediatric populations in China is currently inadequate.
Methods: To assess epidemiology, molecular characteristics, and resistance mechanisms, virulence-associated genes were analyzed, alongside multi locus sequence typing (MLST), PCR, and qRT-PCR.
Finding: Multivariate analysis identified prolonged hospitalization (OR: 1.
Dexamethasone-Antibiotic Interactions in Canine Ocular Bacteria: In Vitro Susceptibility Changes in Common Corneal Infection Pathogens.
Vet Ophthalmol
January 2025
Laboratory of Veterinary Surgery and Ophthalmology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju, Korea.
Objective: To investigate the impact of dexamethasone on the antibiotic susceptibility of common ocular pathogens in dogs and identify safe antibiotic-steroid combinations for veterinary ophthalmology.
Methods: This study utilized 30 bacterial isolates of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, Streptococcus canis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, collected from canine patients with suspected bacterial keratitis. The isolates were tested against 17 antibiotics in the presence of dexamethasone concentrations ranging from 0 to 2 mg/mL.
New quinazolone-sulfonate conjugates with an acetohydrazide linker as potential antimicrobial agents: design, synthesis and molecular docking simulations.

A novel molecular design based on a quinazolinone scaffold was developed the attachment of aryl alkanesulfonates to the quinazolinone core through a thioacetohydrazide azomethine linker, leading to a new series of quinazolinone-alkanesulfonates 5a-r. The antimicrobial properties of the newly synthesized quinazolinone derivatives 5a-r were investigated to examine their bactericidal and fungicidal activities against bacterial pathogens like , (Gram-positive), , , (Gram-negative), in addition to (unicellular fungal). The tested compounds demonstrated reasonable bactericidal activities compared to standard drugs.
