Discovery, research, and development of new antibiotics: the WHO priority list of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and tuberculosis.

Evelina Tacconelli, +81 more
TL;DR: Future development strategies should focus on antibiotics that are active against multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and Gram-negative bacteria, and include antibiotic-resistant bacteria responsible for community-acquired infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

TL;DR: The success of MRSA is a consequence of the extensive arsenal of virulence factors produced by S. aureus combined with β-lactam resistance and, for most clones, resistance to other antibiotic classes as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemiology of β-Lactamase-Producing Pathogens.

TL;DR: As selective pressure from β-lactam use continues, multiple β-Lactamases per organism are increasingly common, including pathogens carrying three different carbapenemase genes, warranting close attention to increased infection control measures and stewardship of the β- lactam-containing drugs in an effort to control selection of even more deleterious pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Continuing Threat of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to recap the history, the emergence, and clinical features of various MRSA infections, and to summarize the current advances regarding MRSA screening, typing, and therapeutic options for an audience of clinical microbiologists and infectious disease specialists.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotic resistance and persistence-Implications for human health and treatment perspectives.

TL;DR: This review focuses on bacterial mechanisms allowing evasion of antibiotic killing and discusses their implications on human health, including the relationship between antibiotic persistence and bacterial heterogeneity, and discusses recent studies that link bacterial persistence and tolerance with the evolution of antibiotic resistance.

GRADE: an emerging consensus on rating quality of evidence and strength of recommendations

TL;DR: The advantages of the GRADE system are explored, which is increasingly being adopted by organisations worldwide and which is often praised for its high level of consistency.

2010 rheumatoid arthritis classification criteria: an American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism collaborative initiative.

TL;DR: This new classification system redefines the current paradigm of RA by focusing on features at earlier stages of disease that are associated with persistent and/or erosive disease, rather than defining the disease by its late-stage features.

Burden and aetiology of diarrhoeal disease in infants and young children in developing countries (the Global Enteric Multicenter Study, GEMS): a prospective, case-control study.

TL;DR: Interventions targeting five pathogens can substantially reduce the burden of moderate-to-severe diarrhoea and suggest new methods and accelerated implementation of existing interventions (rotavirus vaccine and zinc) are needed to prevent disease and improve outcomes.

2013 classification criteria for systemic sclerosis: An american college of rheumatology/European league against rheumatism collaborative initiative

Frank H J van den Hoogen, +46 more
TL;DR: The ACR/EULAR classification criteria for SSc performed better than the 1980 ACR criteria and should allow for more patients to be classified correctly as having the disease.
