Collective antibiotic resistance: mechanisms and implications.
In collective resistance, microbial communities are able to survive antibiotic exposures that would be lethal to individual cells. In this review, we explore recent advances in understanding collective resistance in bacteria. The population dynamics of 'cheating' in a system with cooperative antibiotic inactivation have been described, providing insight into the demographic factors that determi...

متن کاملAntibiotic resistance mechanisms in Enterobacteriaceae
Enterobacteriaceae species are important human pathogens while increasing number of antibiotic resistant strains are detected worldwide. The most common antibiotic resistance in Enterobacteriaceae is observed against beta-lactams, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides while recently resistance to polymyxins has also appeared. Beta-lactam resistance is mainly conferred by beta-lactamases, capable to...
متن کاملFibrogenesis: Mechanisms, Dynamics and Clinical Implications
Fibrosis is the pathological condition resulting in the growth of excess fibrous connective tissue in an organ or body system as a reparative or reactive process. In the field of clinical pathology, clinicians and medical scientists are endeavoring to translate experimental knowledge into effective, innovative treatments for a range of fibrotic conditions. The amelioration of whole organ functi...
متن کاملMechanisms of antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a notoriously difficult organism to control with antibiotics or disinfectants1. Recent reports on the antibiotic sensitivity patterns of P. aeruginosa in the UK have highlighted the problem of antibiotic resistance in cystic fibrosis (CF) strains in comparison with other hospital isolates2,3. Table 1 summarizes the current position in which the resistance rates of P. a...
