Journal ArticleDOI
Aminoglycoside Modifying Enzymes
TL;DR: The successful development of new aminoglycosides refractory to as many as possible modifying enzymes would extend the useful life of existing antibiotics that have proven effective in the treatment of infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of antibiotic resistance
TL;DR: The efficiency of antibiotics is compromised by a growing number of antibiotic-resistant pathogens and the magnitude of the problem recently prompted a number of international and national bodies to take actions to protect the public.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-Genome Analyses of Speciation Events in Pathogenic Brucellae
Patrick S. G. Chain,Diego J. Comerci,Marcelo E. Tolmasky,Frank W. Larimer,Stephanie Malfatti,Lisa M. Vergez,Fernán Agüero,Miriam Land,Rodolfo A. Ugalde,Emilio Garcia +9 more
TL;DR: The genome of B. abortus 2308, the virulent prototype biovar 1 strain, and its comparison to the two other human pathogenic Brucella species and to B. suis are presented to suggest adaptation of brucellae to an intracellular life-style.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmid-Mediated Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence in Gram-Negatives: the Klebsiella pneumoniae Paradigm
TL;DR: The current information about the physiology of plasmids and their role in virulence and antibiotic resistance from the Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple intensive care unit outbreak of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus subspecies anitratus respiratory infection and colonization associated with contaminated, reusable ventilator circuits and resuscitation bags.

TL;DR: Contaminated, reusable ventilator support equipment may be a leading cause for the extent of A. anitratus in the sputum of intubated patients and this problem is potentially correctable by the use of terminal etyhlene oxide sterilization of reusable Ventilator circuits and resuscitation bags.
