Membrane-active macromolecules kill antibiotic-tolerant bacteria and potentiate antibiotics towards Gram-negative bacteria
Chronic bacterial biofilms place a massive burden on healthcare due to the presence of antibiotic-tolerant dormant bacteria. Some of the conventional antibiotics such as erythromycin, vancomycin, linezolid, rifampicin etc. are inherently ineffective against Gram-negative bacteria, particularly in their biofilms. Here, we report membrane-active macromolecules that kill slow dividing stationary-p...
متن کاملAntibiotic Resistance Pattern of Gram-Negative Bacteria in Gorgan
Abstract Background and Objective: The excessive use of broad-spectrum antibiotics will lead to drug resistance of microorganism and specially nosocomial organisms. Because of high incidence of antibiotic resistance in hospitals, we aimed to study antibiotic resistance to gram negative bacteria. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on the data of biological sampl...
متن کاملAn unusual class of anthracyclines potentiate Gram-positive antibiotics in intrinsically resistant Gram-negative bacteria.
OBJECTIVES An orthogonal approach taken towards novel antibacterial drug discovery involves the identification of small molecules that potentiate or enhance the activity of existing antibacterial agents. This study aimed to identify natural-product rifampicin adjuvants in the intrinsically resistant organism Escherichia coli. METHODS E. coli BW25113 was screened against 1120 actinomycete ferm...
متن کاملMultiply antibiotic-resistant gram-negative bacteria.
There are 3 main groups of multiple resistant Gram-negative bacteria: Enterobacteriaceae with ESBL or AmpC enzymes – Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter cloacae, Citrobacter freundii, Morganella morganii, Serratia marcescens Acinetobacter spp. – resistant to aminoglycoside antibiotics as well as occasionally carbapenems and Colistin Pseudomonas spp. – resistant to combinations...
متن کاملThe Outer Membrane of Gram-negative Bacteria and the Cytoplasmic Membrane The Outer Membrane of Gram-Negative Bacteria
The major permeability barrier in any membrane is the lipid bilayer structure, and its barrier property is inversely correlated with its fluidity. Bacteria cannot make this membrane much less fluid or it will start to interfere with the normal functions of the membrane proteins, so some bacteria have constructed an additional structure that surrounds the cell outside the cytoplasmic membrane. A...
