Microbial approaches for targeting antibiotic‐resistant bacteria
Antibiotic resistant bacterial infections are a global public health challenge that has been increasing in severity and scope for the last few decades. Without creative solutions to this problem, treatment of injuries and infections will become progressively more challenging. A better understanding of the human microbiome has led to a new appreciation for the role commensal microbes play in pro...
متن کاملAntibacterial Efficacy of Lytic Bacteriophages against Antibiotic-Resistant Klebsiella Species
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a leading and highly prevalent problem in the treatment of infectious diseases. Bacteriophages (phages) appear to be effective and safe alternatives for the treatment of resistant infections because of their specificity for bacterial species and lack of infectivity in eukaryotic cells. The present study aimed to isolate bacteriophages against Klebsiella sp...
متن کاملSCREENING FOR ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT BACTERIA IN URINE SAMPLES
Chronic urinary tract infections are often caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria. In some of these cases, prediction of the most effective antibiotic (s) may urgently be needed. This can not be achieved unless the nature and patterns of the resistance to antibiotics among the pathogenic bacteria has been described earlier. The urine samples that reached the laboratory of Shaheed Mustafa K...
متن کاملSynthetic Biology Approaches to Combat Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria
Synthetic biology (SB) is an innovative and emerging field, representing a confluence of science and engineering. It aims to (re)-design biological parts, devices and systems while applying engineering principles for useful applications. Valuable insight gained on the functions of biological systems will further improve the design capacity. The advance of SB is expected to provide solutions to ...
متن کاملAntibacterial activity of natural honey against antibiotic-resistant bacteria
Natural honey is an ancient remedy in folk medicine around the world particularly where conventional and modern therapeutic agents fail. Here we report antibacterial potential of a number of unifloral and multifloral natural honey samples produced in Pakistan. Honey samples were collected from colonies of Apis mallifera and Apis cerana bees foraged on Acacia modesta, Plactranthus speices, Zizip...
