Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is an emerging concern in hospital settings as it causes serious human infections. The multidrug resistance (MDR) in S. aureus is a complicated problem that is difficult to overcome due to the presence of numerous antibiotic resistance genes and it exhibit resistance to most of the currently available antibiotics. Presently, the resistance mechanisms of these genes/proteins are not completely understood. Therefore, identifying and understanding the functional relationship between the antibiotic resistant genes and their associated proteins might provide necessary information on resistance mechanisms and thereby help in designing successful drugs to combat the antibiotic resistance. In this study, we propose a model based on protein/gene network to identify genes/proteins associated with drug resistance in S. aureus. We filtered 50 functional partners in NorA, aacA-aphD (aac6ie), aad9ib (ant), aadd (knt), baca (uppP), bl2a_pc (blaZ), ble, ermA, SAV0052 (ermb), ermc, fosB, mecA (mecI), mecR (mecr1), mepA, msrA1, qacA, vraR (str), tet38 and tetM while 40 functional partners are identified in tet and aphA-3 (aph3iiia). The average shortest path length and betweenness centrality of functional partne...Continue Reading

Carbapenems (ASM)

Carbapenems are members of the beta lactam class of antibiotics and are used for the treatment of severe or high-risk bacterial infections. Discover the latest research on carbapenems here.

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.

Aminoglycosides (ASM)

Aminoglycoside is a medicinal and bacteriologic category of traditional Gram-negative antibacterial medications that inhibit protein synthesis and contain as a portion of the molecule an amino-modified glycoside. Discover the latest research on aminoglycoside here.

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.
