Anti-Evolutionary Targets in Bacterial Efflux
نویسنده
چکیده
Over the years, it has been a significant biochemical issue to understand the mechanism of drug resistance in most of the pathogens [1]. The resistances in some species of bacteria have been unfortunately developed to a level that no clinically available treatment is effective [2]. The mechanisms involved in the resistance may be depend upon the nature of antibiotics, its target sites, the bacterial species and whether it is mediated by a resistance plasmid or by a chromosomal mutations. The location and diversity of the antibacterial resistance genes as well as their genetic characterization is important in identifying factors involved in the resistance. Mutations are also observed that modulate the gene expression at transcriptional or translational level of antibacterial resistant gene. Elaborate mechanisms that involve several metabolic pathways to achieve these resistances in the bacteria. In the course of time, the role of metabolism in the bacterial response to antibacterial has recently garnered interest because of a rapid rise in antibacterial resistance, which provides a clear link between metabolic function and cell viability and lack of novel targets to treat several infections.

After several decades of continuously successful antibiotic therapy against bacterial infections, we are now facing a worrying prospect: the accelerated evolution of antibiotic resistance to important human pathogens and the scarcity of new anti-infective drug families under development. Efflux is a general mechanism responsible for bacterial resistance to antibiotics. This active drug transpor...

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...

Background and Objective: Antibiotic resistant phenotypes of bacteria have been shown to be related to efflux pumps. Research for finding compounds with an ability to inhibit these pumps seems worthwhile due to their ability to increase bacterial sensitivity to antibiotics or return sensitivity to resistant strains. The aim of this study was to evaluate inhibitory effect of Thymus daenensis ess...

Quinolones are one of the most commonly prescribed classes of antibacterials in the world and are used to treat a variety of bacterial infections in humans. Because of the wide use (and overuse) of these drugs, the number of quinolone-resistant bacterial strains has been growing steadily since the 1990s. As is the case with other antibacterial agents, the rise in quinolone resistance threatens ...

Antibiotic resistance is a phenomenon in which antibiotic used to treat bacteria becomes useless due to resistance mechanism. Increased drug resistance and occurrence of Multiple Drug Resistance in bacteria specificity nosocomial and Urinary Tract Infection bacteria has reduced the possibilities of treating these infectious diseases. Efflux pumps are one of the major mechanism of MDR in bacteri...
