The prevalence of antibiotic-resistant Clostridium species in Iran: a meta-analysis.
Authors: Khademi F, Sahebkar A Abstract Clostridium species are ubiquitous and associated with various diseases in animals and humans. However, there is little knowledge about the prevalence of their resistance to antibiotics in Iran. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant Clostridium species in Iran through a meta-analysis of eligible studies published up until December 2018. Fourteen articles on the drug resistance of Clostridium species in Iran were included in the current study following a search in PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar databases using relevant keyw...

Phenotypic Plasticity of Staphylococcus aureus in Liquid Medium Containing Vancomycin
Conclusion We chose vancomycin as an environmental stress factor to study the phenotypic plasticity of S. aureus. A bivariate GWAS was used to identify potential SNPs and genes responsible for growth plasticity. Our results provide an alternative strategy to dissect the adaptive growth of S. aureus in an antibiotic environment and highlight the feasibility of bivariate GWAS in the phenotypic plasticity research of bacteria. Author Contributions YJ and XH conceived and designed the experiments. MR, XZ, and JB performed the experiments. MY, XX, and YJ analyzed the data. MR and YJ wrote the manuscript. All authors reviewed...

Antimicrobial Resistance Genes, Cassettes, and Plasmids Present in Salmonella enterica Associated With United States Food Animals
This study revealed that a diverse group of plasmids, carrying AR genes, are responsible for the phenotypic resistance seen in Salmonella isolated from United States food animals. It was also determined that many plasmids carry similar ARCs. Introduction Non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica is one of the most common causes of foodborne illnesses globally, with an estimated 1.2 million cases each year in the United States alone (CDC, 2013). Symptoms range from self-limiting gastrointestinal illness to sepsis. These infections can lead to death unless treated with antibiotics (Crump et al., 2015). Unfortunately, antimic...

Antibacterial Properties of Polyphenols: Characterization and QSAR (Quantitative Structure –Activity Relationship) Models
Conclusion Polyphenols exhibited very different antibacterial activity against the six microbial strains studied that are representative of the foodborne pathogenic and food spoilage bacteria. The same polyphenol may be effective on one type of Gram-positive (or Gram-negative) strain and ineffective on the other ones indicating strain-dependent effect. This is the case for example of 5,7-dihydroxy-4-phenylcoumarin (HUQ) which exhibited 93.5% BLD against L. monocytogenes, 89.9% BLD against S. aureus and a slight bacterial growth-promoting effect (BLD of about −26.1%) for E. coli. Moreover, the antibacterial effect ...

Temperate Prophages Increase Bacterial Adhesin Expression and Virulence in an Experimental Model of Endocarditis Due to Staphylococcus aureus From the CC398 Lineage
Conclusion Introduction of bacteriophages from human-adapted S. aureus to a naïve animal colonizer resulted in virulent strains with altered transcription levels of important bacterial adhesins. Furthermore, the presence of bacteriophages conferred increased virulence in a model of infectious endocarditis for all lysogens tested. Author Contributions FL, A-RC, and MG performed the adhesion and internalization experiments. A-RC and NM-M performed the transduction experiments. SD performed genome assembly and comparisons. FO and JE performed endocarditis experiments. NM-M and PF designed the study. FL, NM-M, and PF...

In vitro Antimicrobial Activity of Robenidine, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid and Polymyxin B Nonapeptide Against Important Human and Veterinary Pathogens
Conclusion The results of our study demonstrate that robenidine is not suitable as a sole antimicrobial agent for the treatment of Gram-negative pathogen infections due to the lack of activity against the majority of Gram-negative isolates except for A. baumannii and A. calcoaceticus. However, we demonstrated in vitro efficacy against all selected Gram-negative organisms when robenidine was tested in combination with EDTA or PMBN, including against multidrug-resistant strains. Therefore, robenidine may be an appropriate candidate as a component of a combination preparation for the treatment of otitis externa in dogs. This...

Treatment and prevention of pouchitis after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for chronic ulcerative colitis.
CONCLUSIONS: The effects of antibiotics, probiotics and other interventions for treating and preventing pouchitis are uncertain. Well designed, adequately powered studies are needed to determine the optimal therapy for the treatment and prevention of pouchitis. PMID: 31136680 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Microbial epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance patterns of wound infection in Ethiopia: a meta-analysis of laboratory-based cross-sectional studies.
CONCLUSION: Generally, the wound culture positivity was found very high indicating the likelihood of poly-microbial contamination. S. aureus is by far the most common bacterial isolate recovered from wound infection. The high estimate of resistance was observed among β-lactam antibiotics in all bacterial isolates. Ciprofloxacin and gentamicin were relatively effective in treating wound infections with poly-microbial etiology. PMID: 31146791 [PubMed - in process]

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase, plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamase, fluoroquinolone resistance, and decreased susceptibility to carbapenems in Enterobacteriaceae : fecal carriage rates and associated risk factors in the community of Northern Cyprus
ConclusionThe study indicates that resistantEnterobacteriaceae isolates are carried by humans in the community. To prevent further spread of resistance, rational use of antibiotics should be encouraged, and antibiotic resistance should be carefully monitored in Northern Cyprus.

Fluoroquinolones and the risk of tendon injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsThe results of this meta-analysis confirm the risk of tendon injuries associated with fluoroquinolones. Older age and concomitant use of corticosteroids seem to be additional risk factors for tendinopathy.

Antibacterial effect of acrylic bone cements loaded with drugs of different action ’s mechanism
Conclusions: The results indicated a positive antibacterial effect by the combined used of the two or the three drugs tested against the Gram-negative bacilliPseudomonas aeruginosa, so these proposal may be a valid alternative to be considered by surgeons.

UCLA-led research reveals potential treatments for deadly tropical disease
Melioidosis is a tropical disease that claims an estimated 90,000 lives worldwide each year. There is no vaccine, and current treatments are hampered by the ability of the bacterium that causes the disease to resist even the strongest antibiotics.Hardy and lethal, that bacterium, Burkholderia pseudomallei, is classified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a potential bioweapon.UCLA-led research has identified two compounds that, based on tests on human cells and on mice, show potential for treating melioidosis. One is a widely used drug already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as an antifu...

Antibiotic treatment for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in people with decompensated liver cirrhosis: a network meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Short-term mortality after SBP is about 25%. There is significant uncertainty about which antibiotic therapy is better in people with SBP.We need adequately powered randomised clinical trials, with adequate blinding, avoiding post-randomisation dropouts (or performing intention-to-treat analysis), and using clinically important outcomes, such as mortality, health-related quality of life, and adverse events.
