Abstract

Shigella dysenteriae represent one of the growing list of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Quinolones are widely employed to treat shigellosis. However, quinolone resistance has already been reported, necessitating an understanding of the mechanisms of development of resistance. We demonstrate that high-level fluoroquinolone resistance of S. dysenteriae exposed to these antibiotics may occur in the absence of gyrA mutations and involve a proton motive force(pmf)-dependent efflux system.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Antifungals (ASM)

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.
