Journal ArticleDOI
Mobile Genetic Elements Associated with Antimicrobial Resistance
TL;DR: The characteristics of the major types of mobile genetic elements involved in acquisition and spread of antibiotic resistance in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria are outlined, focusing on the so-called ESKAPEE group of organisms, which have become the most problematic hospital pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of Mortality in Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia
Sebastian Van Hal,Slade O. Jensen,Slade O. Jensen,Vikram L. Vaska,Björn A. Espedido,Björn A. Espedido,David L. Paterson,Iain B Gosbell,Iain B Gosbell +8 more
TL;DR: Although the rate of mortality from SAB is declining, it remains high, and questions remain as to whether this reflects pathogen-specific factors or poorer responses to antibiotic therapy, namely, vancomycin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetics of antimicrobial resistance in Staphylococcus aureus.
Slade O. Jensen,Bruce R. Lyon +1 more
TL;DR: It is now evident that the evolution of multiresistance is driven by the acquisition of discrete preformed antimicrobial resistance genes that are exchanged between organisms via horizontal gene transfer, and chromosomal mutation is the catalyst of novel resistance determinants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intensive care unit environmental surfaces are contaminated by multidrug-resistant bacteria in biofilms: combined results of conventional culture, pyrosequencing, scanning electron microscopy, and confocal laser microscopy
Honghua Hu,Khalid Johani,Khalid Johani,Iain B Gosbell,Iain B Gosbell,Anita Jacombs,Ahmad Almatroudi,Ahmad Almatroudi,Greg S. Whiteley,Anand K. Deva,Slade O. Jensen,Karen Vickery +11 more
TL;DR: Dry surface biofilms containing MDROs are found on ICU surfaces despite terminal cleaning with chlorine solution, and how these arise and how they might be removed requires further study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell Division in Bacillus subtilis: FtsZ and FtsA Association Is Z-Ring Independent, and FtsA Is Required for Efficient Midcell Z-Ring Assembly
TL;DR: The development of an in vivo chemical cross-linking assay is reported to examine the association between FtsZ and FtsA in Bacillus subtilis cells and suggests that in this organism, and perhaps others, ftsA ensures recruitment of the membrane-bound division proteins by ensuring correct formation of the Z ring.
