Abstract In this study, the antimicrobial activity of a bacteriocin produced by Enterococcus faecalis KT11, isolated from traditional Kargı Tulum cheese, was determined, and bacteriocin KT11 was partially characterized....

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance and dysregulated inflammation drive mortality in multidrug-resistant (MDR) sepsis. We evaluated the cationic peptide TP2-5 as a low-dose antibiotic adjuvant. At sub-MIC concentrations, T...

BackgroundSurgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP) is an essential part of perioperative care, yet adherence to recommended practices varies across surgical categories. Differences in antibiotic choice and duration between ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health crisis that poses a devastating and specific threat to immunocompromised cancer patients, who are heavily reliant on antibiotics to navigate high‐...

Abstract Objective Streptococcus agalactiae is an important pathogen in neonates and pregnant women. Neonatal invasive infections due to S. agalactiae are life-threatening and preventive strategies for this challenge o...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Septic abortion remains a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in low‐ and middle‐income countries. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, antibiotic susceptibility prof...

The use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in poultry production has raised concerns for human, animal, and environmental health owing to the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance. These concerns have tri...

ObjectiveTo investigate the contamination status of Listeria monocytogenes in frozen prepared dishes collected from Huzhou City during 2023—2024， and to elucidate the antimicrobial resistance and genetic characterist...

ABSTRACT Diarrheagenic (DEC) and avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) are associated with intestinal and extra-intestinal infections (ExPEC), respectively. We aimed to analyze the antimicrobial susceptibility, gene e...

ObjectiveTo evaluate the antimicrobial resistance characteristics and molecular epidemiological features of Escherichia coli in retail whole chickens in Beijing， including resistance rates， resistance profiles， ser...

Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a major global One Health challenge, with increasing recognition of the role of wildlife in the environmental circulation of resistant bacteria. Wild birds, p...

Abstract To investigate antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), conjugative plasmids, and virulence genes in Swedish waterborne Escherichia spp., water samples were collected from urban freshwater and Baltic Sea beaches and ...

Antimicrobial resistance represents a major global health challenge, particularly in the context of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Although conventional antibiotics and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) both exert selective p...

This study evaluates the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) regarding antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) students in selected institutions across Punjab. A cross-sec...

The detrimental effects of biofilms are a cause of great concern in medical, industrial and environmental areas. In this study, we proposed a novel eradication strategy consisting of the combined use of micropatterned su...

BackgroundAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major public health challenge in Pakistan due to irrational antibiotic use and weak surveillance. The WHO AWaRe framework and United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) declar...

Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) constitutes a formidable global health threat, spanning bacterial, viral, and fungal pathogens. Within this broader context, antibiotic resistance (ABR)—specifically t...

The global rise of multidrug-resistant bacteria necessitates the development of new antimicrobials and faster diagnostic tools. Conventional antimicrobial susceptibility testing is slow, relying on culture-based methods ...

ABSTRACT Antimicrobials are pivotal in treating bacterial infections. More often than any other class of antimicrobial, antibiotics are a class of antimicrobials used primarily to treat bacterial infections. Thus, both h...

Abstract Background There is no standardized methodology to measure antibiotic drug use (AU) in small animal veterinary hospitals. Objectives To estimate AU prevalence in a small animal veterinary teaching hospital and c...

Peptides modulate many processes of human physiology targeting ion channels, protein receptors, or enzymes. They represent valuable starting points for the development of new biologics against communicable and non-commun...

Vibrio parahaemolyticus （V. parahaemolyticus） is a significant foodborne pathogen worldwide， primarily transmitted through the consumption of seafood. It can cause both sporadic cases of acute gastroenteritis and o...

Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a major global pathogen due to extensive resistance to last-resort antimicrobials, a high burden of nosocomial infections, and increasing community-acquired cases. Its adaptability ...

ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess the antimicrobial susceptibility of 52 Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bovine mastitis isolates obtained from 37 dairy herds from the northwest of Portugal against antibiotics belong...
