Antibacterial Mechanisms of Polymyxin and Bacterial Resistance
Multidrug resistance in pathogens is an increasingly significant threat for human health. Indeed, some strains are resistant to almost all currently available antibiotics, leaving very limited choices for antimicrobial clinical therapy. In many such cases, polymyxins are the last option available, although their use increases the risk of developing resistant strains. This review mainly aims to ...
متن کاملAntifungal agents: mode of action, mechanisms of resistance, and correlation of these mechanisms with bacterial resistance.
The increased use of antibacterial and antifungal agents in recent years has resulted in the development of resistance to these drugs. The significant clinical implication of resistance has led to heightened interest in the study of antimicrobial resistance from different angles. Areas addressed include mechanisms underlying this resistance, improved methods to detect resistance when it occurs,...
متن کاملNew molecular mechanisms of GH resistance.
Primary growth hormone (GH) resistance describes growth failure in the presence of normal, or even elevated, GH secretion. In its classic form, the phenotype is identical to that of GH deficiency, and was originally described in association with defects of the GH receptor. With increasing understanding of the GH-insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis, it has become apparent that GH resistance ca...
متن کاملMechanisms and consequences of bacterial resistance to antimicrobial peptides.
Cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are an intrinsic part of the human innate immune system. Over 100 different human AMPs are known to exhibit broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Because of the increased frequency of resistance to conventional antibiotics there is an interest in developing AMPs as an alternative antibacterial therapy. Several cationic peptides that are derivatives of AMP...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents
Infectious diseases caused by bacterial pathogens represent a serious public health concern. Antimicrobial agents such as anti-bacterial drugs are often indicated for chemotherapy of bacterial infections in clinical medicine. Thus, it is important to study the biological mechanisms that confer bacterial pathogenesis and virulence. Under selective evolutionary pressure when in the presence of an...
