With an increase in the number of isolates resistant to multiple antibiotics, infection control
has become increasingly important to help combat the spread of multi-drug-resistant …

The clinical role of Acinetobacter baumannii has been highlighted in numerous infectious
syndromes with a high mortality rate, due to the high prevalence of multidrug-resistant …

Background Antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacterial isolates has increased worldwide
leading to treatment failures. Main body Many concerns are being raised about the usage of …

Klebsiella pneumoniae is among the World Health Organization's list of priority pathogens,
notorious for its role in causing healthcare-associated infections and neonatal sepsis …

In this study, we aimed to examine the relationships between antibiotic resistance, biofilm
formation, and biofilm-specific resistance in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii. The …

Drug resistance in bacteria is increasing and the pace at which new antibiotics are being
produced is slowing. It is now almost commonplace to hear about methicillin‐resistant …

Biocides are heavily used in the healthcare environment, mainly for the disinfection of
surfaces, water, equipment, and antisepsis, but also for the sterilization of medical devices …

Background In this study we assessed the propensity of biocide exposure in the
development of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria. Methods Our protocol is based on …

Abstract Biocides (antiseptics, disinfectants, preservatives, and sterilants) are critical
components of intervention strategies used in clinical medicine for preventing the …

Assessing the risk of resistance associated with biocide exposure commonly involves
exposing microorganisms to biocides at concentrations close to the MIC. With the aim of …
