[Susceptibility of spore-forming butyric acid bacteria to antimicrobial agents].
Antimicrobial agents occasionally cause certain adverse effects, such as diarrhea and loose stool, by altering the composition of the intestinal flora. Antibiotic-resistant lactic acid bacteria are used to prevent these adverse effects. Although these bacteria are not resistant to several recently introduced antimicrobial agents, bacterial preparations are still sometimes prescribed concomitant...
متن کاملMechanisms of biofilm resistance to antimicrobial agents.
Biofilms are communities of microorganisms attached to a surface. It has become clear that biofilm-grown cells express properties distinct from planktonic cells, one of which is an increased resistance to antimicrobial agents. Recent work has indicated that slow growth and/or induction of an rpoS-mediated stress response could contribute to biocide resistance. The physical and/or chemical struc...
متن کاملCoagulase-negative staphylococci: pathogenesis, occurrence of antibiotic resistance genes and in vitro effects of antimicrobial agents on biofilm-growing bacteria.
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are opportunistic pathogens that particularly cause infections in patients with implanted medical devices. The present research was performed to study the virulence potential of 53 clinical isolates of Staphylococcus capitis, Staphylococcus auricularis, Staphylococcus lugdunensis, Staphylococcus simulans, Staphylococcus cohnii and Staphylococcus caprae. A...
متن کاملEngineering Synthetic Bacteriophage to Combat Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
Antibiotic resistance is a rapidly evolving problem that is not being adequately met by new antimicrobial drugs. Thus, there is a pressing need for effective antibacterial therapies that can be adapted against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Here, we engineered synthetic bacteriophage to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria by overexpressing proteins and attacking gene networks which are not dir...
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 ...
