Dr. Timothy Palzkill, professor of Pharmacology and Chemical Biology and Molecular Virology and Microbiology, and his research team have been studying mechanisms of resistance to the beta-lactam ...

Three of these six pathogens are antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Recently, antibacterial drugs against ESBL-producing Gram-negative bacteria accounted for ∼15% (2 out of 13 ...

is one of the major mechanisms of antibiotic resistance. Plasmid borne genes encoding modifying enzymes such as beta-lactamases, that confer resistance to penicillins and related antibiotics, or, more ...

Most resistant to carbapenems Gram-negative bacteria isolates are only susceptible to polymyxins, which are commonly the main antibiotic class used against these isolates. Some shortcomings of ...

All that said, when it comes to antibiotic resistance, gram-negative bacteria have an edge ... the defenders — bacteria's defense mechanisms — have an easier time dealing with them.

The emergence of resistant to carbapenems Gram-negative bacteria (CR GNB) has severely challenged antimicrobial therapy. Many CR GNB isolates are only susceptible to polymyxins; however ...

OPGs found abundantly in gram-negative bacteria -; bacteria in an enclosed shell-like membrane -; play a role in antibiotic resistance and disease outcomes. As a result, efforts to better ...
