Bacterial vaccines and antibiotic resistance

Spread of antibiotic resistance is mediated by clonal lineages of bacteria that besides being resistant also possess other properties promoting their success. Some vaccines already in use, such as the pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, have had an effect on these successful clones, but at the same time have allowed for the expansion and resistance evolution of previously minor clones not covered ...

Rationalizing antibiotic use to limit antibiotic resistance in India+

Antibiotic resistance, a global concern, is particularly pressing in developing nations, including India, where the burden of infectious disease is high and healthcare spending is low. The Global Antibiotic Resistance Partnership (GARP) was established to develop actionable policy recommendations specifically relevant to low- and middle-income countries where suboptimal access to antibiotics - ...

Regulatory RNAs Involved in Bacterial Antibiotic Resistance

An increasing number of RNAs have been recently shown to possess regulatory functions similar to those of proteins. In bacteria, these regulatory RNAs are usually noncoding and are short size (50–500 nts) transcripts that are often referred to as small RNAs (sRNAs) [1,2]. These sRNAs are synthesized under specific environmental conditions and play a major role in the regulation of various cellu...
