Siderophores as “Trojan Horses”: tackling multidrug resistance?
Microbial drug resistance is partly due to hindered diffusion through the membrane of microbial cells and active transport mechanisms. An approach to counter such resistance uses the bacterial iron transport system. Extracellular free iron is scarce in vertebrates, yet essential for microbial growth (Anderson et al., 2012). A mechanism displayed by microbial pathogens to cope with iron scarcity...
متن کاملMultidrug resistance associated proteins in multidrug resistance
Multidrug resistance proteins (MRPs) are members of the C family of a group of proteins named ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. These ABC transporters together form the largest branch of proteins within the human body. The MRP family comprises of 13 members, of which MRP1 to MRP9 are the major transporters indicated to cause multidrug resistance in tumor cells by extruding anticancer dru...
متن کاملMultidrug Resistance in Infants and Children
Bacterial infections may cause disease and death. Infants and children are often subject to bacterial infections. Antimicrobials kill bacteria protecting the infected patients andreducing the risk of morbidity and mortality caused by bacteria. The antibiotics may lose their antibacterial activity when they become resistant to a bacteria. The resistance to different antibiotics in a bacteria is ...
متن کاملMultidrug-resistant gonorrhoea: tackling a meaner bug in the UK.
Commentary Background Reports of a gonorrhoea 'superbug' made the headlines last year following the description of a ceftriaxone-resistant i solate of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. 1 But is antimicrobial resistance a significant problem and what is the current reality of N. gonorrhoeae infection in the UK? Is gonorrhoea getting meaner? Anogenital infection with N. gonor-rhoeae has been highly responsi...
متن کاملMarine Natural Products as Models to Circumvent Multidrug Resistance.
Multidrug resistance (MDR) to anticancer drugs is a serious health problem that in many cases leads to cancer treatment failure. The ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which leads to premature efflux of drugs from cancer cells, is often responsible for MDR. On the other hand, a strategy to search for modulators from natural products to overcome MDR had been in place d...
