Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) is the main cause of urinary tract infections and septicemia. Significant attention has been given to ExPEC sequence type ST131, which categorized as a “high-risk” clone. High-risk clones are globally distributed associated with various antimicrobial resistance determinants, ease transmission, persistence in hosts, effective transmission between hosts. The high-risk have enhanced pathogenicity severe and/or recurrent infections. We show...

ABSTRACT The lack of novel antibiotics against gram-negative bacteria has reinstated polymyxins as the drugs last resort to treat serious infections caused by extremely multiresistant organisms. However, are nephrotoxic, and this feature may complicate therapy or even require its discontinuation. Like that aminoglycosides, nephrotoxicity might be related highly cationic nature molecule. Colistin polymyxin B carry five positive charges. Here we show derivatives carrying only three charges...

In enterococci, resistance to linezolid is often mediated by mutations in the V domain of 23S rRNA gene (G2576T or G2505A). Furthermore, four genes [optrA, cfr, cfr(B) and poxtA] encode enterococci. We aimed develop a Web tool for detection two encoding enterococci from whole-genome sequence data.
