Despite tremendous successes in the field of antibiotic discovery seen in the previous
century, infectious diseases have remained a leading cause of death. More specifically …

Gram-negative bacteria and their complex cell envelope, which comprises an outer
membrane and an inner membrane, are an important and attractive system for studying the …

Collective antibiotic drug resistance is a global threat, especially with respect to Gram-
negative bacteria. The low permeability of the bacterial outer cell wall has been identified as …

Background The present study was designed to investigate the antibacterial activities of the
methanol extract of three edible plants, namely Xanthosoma mafaffa, Moringa oleifera and …

Background The emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) phenotypes is a major public
health problem today in the treatment of bacterial infections. The present study was …

In the present chapter, the synopsis of active botanicals and phytochemicals of the flora of
Africa against drug-sensitive and drug-resistant strains of bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae …

In the last 10 years, resistance in Gram-negative bacteria has been increasing. The present

Background Infectious diseases due to multidrug-resistant bacteria are one of the causes of
treatment failures contributing to an increase in mortality and/or morbidity. In this study, we …

Gram-negative bacteria can resist antibiotics by changing the permeability via their outer
membrane. These bacteria have a complex cell envelope that incorporates an outer …
