A major contributor to the emergence of antibiotic resistance in Gram-positive bacterial
pathogens is the expansion of acquired, inducible genetic elements. Although acquired …

Abstract Background Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and multidrug-resistant
Pseudomonas aeruginosa are becoming difficult to treat with antibiotics whereas Cationic …

La resistencia a antimicrobianos representa un aspecto natural de evolución bacteriana,
que puede resultar de mutaciones o por adquisición de genes foráneos. Hay diferentes …

Enterococci are intestinal colonizers in many mammals including man, birds, reptiles and
even invertebrates and are also found in diverse environments such as sewage, soil and …

Glycopeptides, particularly the cell wall-acting antibiotic vancomycin, are the safest cure for
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The aim of this study was to evaluate …

d-Alanyl: d-lactate (d-Ala: d-Lac) and d-alanyl: d-serine ligases are key enzymes in
vancomycin resistance of Gram-positive cocci. They catalyze a critical step in the synthesis …

The vancomycin resistance operons from Enterococci, Staphylococci and Actinomycetes
encode a VanRS two‐component signal transduction system (TCS) and a suite of enzymes …

We document linezolid dependence among 5 highly linezolid-resistant (LRSE)
Staphylococcus epidermidis bloodstream isolates that grew substantially faster at 32 µg/mL …

Objective The aim of the study was to assess vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(VRSA) in the National Liver Institute. Background VRSA refers to the strains of S. aureus …

The vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus VRSA-9 clinical isolate was partially
dependent on glycopeptide for growth. The responsible vanA operon had the same …
