... Paddy soils are potential hotspots of combined contamination with arsenic (As) and antibiotics, which may induce co-selection of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and As biotransformation genes (ABGs), resulting in dissemination of antimicrobial resistance and modification in As biogeochemical cycling. So far, little information is available for these co-selection processes and specific patterns ...

Abstract:
... Recurrent tuberculosis occurs due to exogenous reinfection or reactivation/persistence. We analysed 90 sequential MDR Mtb isolates obtained in Argentina from 27 patients with previously diagnosed MDR‐TB that recurred in 2018 (1–10 years, 2–10 isolates per patient). Three long‐term predominant strains were responsible for 63% of all MDR‐TB recurrences. Most of the remaining patients were infected b ...

Abstract:
... Considering that hypoxia is closely associated with tumor proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and drug resistance, it is of great significance to overcome hypoxia in tumor treatment. Herein, we report a hypoxia-induced specific photothermal therapy (PTT) based on the photothermal agent of supramolecular perylene diimide radical anions. Hypoxic regions in various tumors display strong reductive ab ...

Abstract:
... Due to the alarming developing rate of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens, the development and modification of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are unprecedentedly active. Despite the fact that considerable efforts have been expended on the discovery and design strategies of AMPs, the clinical translation of peptide antibiotics remains inadequate. A large number of articles and reviews credited ...

Abstract:
... Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella michiganensis (CRKM) and Klebsiella oxytoca (CRKO) strains have occasionally been reported to cause severe infections. However, SIM-producing K. michiganensis strains have never been described. In this study, we phenotypically and genetically characterized 6 CRKM and CRKO strains isolated over the past 10 years at a Chinese tertiary hospital. All six strains were po ...

Abstract:
... Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. Current pharmacological interventions for the CVDs suffer from low bioavailability, low retention rate, poor targeting, drug resistance complicated side effects. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are lipid vesicles secreted by cells, play key roles in pathological processes of CVDs. Engineered EVs and EV mimics with superio ...

Abstract:
... MDR UPEC has become a global health challenge. Our study investigates the pairwise interactions among FOS, COL, NIT and TRI against 29 UPEC strains using the checkerboard method. The synergistic combinations are further evaluated for their bactericidal effects against the most resistant strain (MRS) using the time‐kill method. The results showed that 100% of these strains were resistant to TRI and ...

Abstract:
... Enteric bacterial pathogens have been implicated in many cases of gastroenteritis in Nigeria, a West African country. This situation is worsened by some reports of the high prevalence of multidrug-resistant enteric bacteria. To better prepare for situations in which even antibiotics of last resort would fail to treat infections caused by these pathogens, attention should be paid to alternative ant ...

Abstract:
... Preventing human-to-mosquito transmission of malaria parasites provides possible solutions to interrupt the malaria parasite life cycle for malaria elimination. The development of validated routine assays enabled the discovery of such transmission-blocking compounds. Currently, one development priority remains on combinations of dual-active compounds with equipotent activity against both the disea ...

Abstract:
... Vancomycin, a blockbuster antibiotic of the glycopeptide class, has been a life-saving therapeutic against multidrug-resistant Gram-positive infections. The emergence of glycopeptide resistance has however enunciated the need to develop credible alternatives with potent activity against vancomycin-resistant bacteria. Medicinal chemistry has responded to this challenge through various strategies, o ...

Abstract:
... miR-30b, which is encoded by the gene located on chromosome 8q24.22, plays an important role in a variety of diseases. In most types of tumors, miR-30b significantly inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of cancer cells through the regulation of target genes. Moreover, miR-30b can inhibit the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway through the regulation of EGFR, AKT, Derlin-1, GNA13, SIX1, and o ...

Abstract:
... The changes in lifestyle and living conditions have affected not only humans but also microorganisms. As man invents new drugs and therapies, pathogens alter themselves to survive and thrive. Multiple drug resistance (MDR) is the talk of the town for decades now. Many generations of medications have been termed useless as MDR rises among the infectious population. The surge in nanotechnology has b ...

Abstract:
... Mycobacterium abscessus is a pathogenic non‐tuberculous mycobacterium that possesses an intrinsic drug resistance profile. Several N‐acetyltransferases mediate drug resistance and/or participate in M. abscessus virulence. Mining the M. abscessus genome has revealed genes encoding additional N‐acetyltransferases whose functions remain uncharacterized, among them MAB_4324c. Here, we showed that the ...
