Combination of Antibiotics Can Eradicate Super Pathogens
ESKAPE pathogens are a group of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria that pose a grave threat, causing more than two million infections and nearly 23,000 deaths a year. The six super bacteria are also responsible for a substantial number of infections in hospitals. More...08 Jun 2017
Antibiotic-Resistant Gene Discovered in Salmonella
A team of investigators has discovered a gene, named fosA7, which confers a high level of resistance to the important broad-spectrum antibiotic fosfomycin. The researchers found fosA7 in isolates of the pathogen Salmonella enterica from broiler chickens. More...05 Jun 2017
Rare Infection in Transplant Recipients Linked to Donors
The way in which heart and lung transplant recipients acquired a specific species of bacteria, Mycoplasma hominis, had been previously undefined, and the bacterium was difficult to test for and detect. Originally, this bacterium was considered to reside exclusively in, and be a potential pathogen of the area of the reproductive and urinary organs. More...01 Jun 2017
Urinary Pathogen Resistance Increased Post Kidney Transplant
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common complication after kidney transplantation and it can cause severe sepsis and transplant loss. Emergence of drug resistance among gram-negative urinary pathogens is the current challenge for urinary tract infection treatment after kidney transplantation. More...31 May 2017
