Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Impact of Acquired and Intrinsic Fosfomycin Resistance.

Antibiotics (Basel, Switzerland)

Castañeda-García A, Blázquez J, Rodríguez-Rojas A.
PMID: 27029300
Antibiotics (Basel). 2013 Apr 16;2(2):217-36. doi: 10.3390/antibiotics2020217.

Bacterial infections caused by antibiotic-resistant isolates have become a major health problem in recent years, since they are very difficult to treat, leading to an increase in morbidity and mortality. Fosfomycin is a broad-spectrum bactericidal antibiotic that inhibits cell...

Although currently recommended antibiotics for Lyme disease such as doxycycline or amoxicillin cure the majority of the patients, about 10-20% of patients treated for Lyme disease may experience lingering symptoms including fatigue, pain, or joint and muscle aches. Under...

Molecular Basis for Resistance Against Phosphonate Antibiotics and Herbicides.

MedChemComm

Chekan JR, Cogan DP, Nair SK.
PMID: 26811741
Medchemcomm. 2016 Jan 01;7(1):28-36. doi: 10.1039/C5MD00351B. Epub 2015 Oct 12.

Research in recent years have illuminated data on the mechanisms and targets of phosphonic acid antibiotics and herbicides, including fosfomycin, glyphosate, fosmidomycin and FR900098. Here we review the current state of knowledge of the structural and biochemical characterization of...

Increasing antimicrobial resistance among uropathogens: Is fosfomycin the answer?.

Urology annals

Sultan A, Rizvi M, Khan F, Sami H, Shukla I, Khan HM.
PMID: 25657539
Urol Ann. 2015 Jan-Mar;7(1):26-30. doi: 10.4103/0974-7796.148585.

INTRODUCTION: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infectious diseases in clinical practice. The choice of antibiotics for the treatment of UTI is limited by the rising rates of antibiotic resistance. There is an urgent need...

A Patient Presenting with Cholangitis due to Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Successfully Treated with Intrabiliary Colistine.

Infectious disease reports

Pérez PN, Ramírez MA, Fernández JA, de Guevara LL.
PMID: 25002957
Infect Dis Rep. 2014 May 13;6(2):5147. doi: 10.4081/idr.2014.5147. eCollection 2014 May 13.

Anatomical barriers for antibiotic penetration can pose a particular challenge in the clinical setting. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (SM) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) are two pathogens capable of developing multiple drug-resistance (MDR) mechanisms. We report the case of a 56-year-old female...

Current pattern of antibiotic resistance of clinical isolates among conjunctival swabs.

Pakistan journal of medical sciences

OBJECTIVES: To identify the etiological agent in bacterial conjunctivitis and to determine the antibiogram of bacterial isolates.METHODOLOGY: This observational study was conducted at Dr. Essa's Laboratory over a period of 12 months ending in March 2012. Two hundred samples...

Antimicrobial susceptibilities of Escherichia coli isolates as agents of community-acquired urinary tract infection (2008-2014).

Turkish journal of urology

Yılmaz N, Ağuş N, Bayram A, Şamlıoğlu P, Şirin MC, Derici YK, Hancı SY.
PMID: 27011879
Turk J Urol. 2016 Mar;42(1):32-6. doi: 10.5152/tud.2016.90836.

OBJECTIVE: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most frequently seen community-acquired infections worldwide. E. coli causes 90% of urinary system infections. To guide the empirical therapy, the resistance pattern of E. coli responsible for community-acquired UTI was evaluated...

Favorable outcome in cerebral abscesses caused by Citrobacter koseri in a newborn infant.

The treatment of brain abscesses in newborn infants is controversial. We report on a 6-week-old infant with multiple brain abscesses caused by Citrobacter koseri that resolved after treatment with combined surgical drainage and intravenous therapy with meropenem and fosfomycin.
