The recent paper by Haaber et al. (1) highlights another mechanism by which bacterial pathogens may evade the effects of antibiotics. The combination of colistin with vancomycin against Staphylococcus aureus may be antagonistic and may lessen the effectiveness of glycopeptide antibiotic. Colistin, it seems, induces gene expression in S. aureus which mimics the vancomycinintermediate (VISA) phen...
متن کاملNon-antibiotic treatment for infectious diseases.
The abuse and uncontrolled use of antibiotics has resulted in the emergence and spread of resistant bacteria. The utility of conventional antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections has become increasingly strained due to increased rates of resistance coupled with reduced rates of development of new agents. As a result, multidrug-resistant, extensively drug-resistant, and pan-drug-res...

The emergence of multiple antibiotic resistant organisms in the general community is a potentially serious threat to public health. The emergence of antibiotic resistance has not yet prompted a radical revision of antibiotic utilisation. Instead it has prompted the development of additional antibiotics. Unfortunately, this does not relieve the underlying selection pressure that drives the devel...
