Antibiotics for Gram-negative infections
We do need them, and we need them now! New antibacterial drugs have been developed on the last 2 years for Grampositive agents,(1) but not with new targets. There has been real progress in developing antimycobacterial agents, including some new modes of action;(2) however, what we have available today for Gramnegative multiresistant bacteria is the same we had 5 years ago, except for some molec...
متن کاملEmerging gram-negative enteric infections.
This is an overview describing the microbiology, epidemiology, clinical presentations, laboratory diagnosis, and treatment of emerging gram-negative enteric infections. This review illustrates the shifts in epidemiology of infections caused by new and reemerging bacteria and highlights the role of the clinical microbiology laboratory in detecting these pathogens. It concludes with suggestions f...
متن کاملGram-Negative Bacterial Wound Infections
Acinetobacter baumannii is recognized as an emerging bacterial pathogen because of traits such as prolonged survival in a desiccated state, effective nosocomial transmission, and an inherent ability to acquire antibiotic resistance genes. A pressing need in the field of A. baumannii research is a suitable model strain that is representative of current clinical isolates, is highly virulent in es...
متن کاملSynergistic effect of clinically used antibiotics and peptide antibiotics against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria
Ribosomally synthesized (natural) peptides demonstrate antimicrobial potency and may represent a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of infections. The aim of the present study was to investigate the interaction between polycationic peptides and clinically used antimicrobial agents in the treatment of clinical isolates of Gram-positive and Gram-negative aerobic bacteria in vitro, using...
متن کاملAntibacterial synergism of polymyxin B nonapeptide and hydrophobic antibiotics in experimental gram-negative infections in mice.
Polymyxin B nonapeptide, derived by cleavage of the fatty acyl diaminobutyric acid from polymyxin B, is considerably less toxic, lacks bactericidal activity, and retains its ability to render gram-negative bacteria susceptible to several antibiotics by permeabilizing their outer membranes. The peptide rendered all 53 polymyxin-susceptible strains tested more susceptible to novobiocin, lowering ...
