Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial resistance worldwide: causes, challenges and responses.
Stuart B. Levy,Bonnie Marshall +1 more
TL;DR: The optimism of the early period of antimicrobial discovery has been tempered by the emergence of bacterial strains with resistance to these therapeutics, and today, clinically important bacteria are characterized not only by single drug resistance but also by multiple antibiotic resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food Animals and Antimicrobials: Impacts on Human Health
Bonnie Marshall,Stuart B. Levy +1 more
TL;DR: The substantial and expanding volume of evidence reporting animal-to-human spread of resistant bacteria, including that arising from use of NTAs, supports eliminating NTA use in order to reduce the growing environmental load of resistance genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Mechanisms of Antibacterial Multidrug Resistance
TL;DR: The intrinsic mechanisms not commonly specified by mobile elements, such as efflux pumps that expel multiple kinds of antibiotics, are now recognized as major contributors to multidrug resistance in bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Triclosan targets lipid synthesis
TL;DR: It is shown that triclosan blocks lipid synthesis in Escherichia coli, and that mutations in, or overexpression of, the gene fabI (which encodes enoyl reductase, involved in fatty acid synthesis) prevents this blockage.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: To explore how the problem of antibiotic resistance might best be addressed, a group of 30 scientists from academia and industry gathered at the Banbury Conference Centre in Cold Spring Harbor, New York, USA, from 16 to 18 May 2011.
