Article Abstract
Avibactam restored the in-vitro antibacterial activity of ceftazidime, ceftaroline, and aztreonam against isogenic Escherichia coli expressing class A, class C, and class D β-lactamases. The enzymes included TEM and CTX-M extended spectrum β-lactamases, ACT, CMY and FOX AmpC-type enzymes, and carbapenemases including rarer KPC variants and OXA-139.

The mechanism by which quorum sensing (QS) enhances stress resistance in enterohemorrhagic () O157:H7 remains unclear. We employed optimized exogenous QS signal N-acyl-homoserinelactones (AHL) (100 μM 3-oxo-C6-AHL, 2 h) in EHEC O157:H7 strain EDL933, which was validated with endogenous -derived AHL, to investigate QS-mediated protection against acid stress. RNA-seq transcriptomics identified key upregulated genes (e.

Unlabelled: Heteroresistance describes the phenomenon where seemingly isogenic bacterial populations contain subpopulations with elevated resistance compared to the susceptible majority that are often missed in routine susceptibility testing. The enhanced resistance of those subpopulations can either be maintained (stable) or quickly lost (unstable/transient) after treatment, where transient cases return susceptibility results identical to those of original cultures. Recent work has implicated increased gene dosage of resistance determinants as a major cause of unstable heteroresistance in clinical isolates.

Xeruborbactam is a broad-spectrum boronate-type β-lactamase inhibitor. We aimed to evaluate its activity in combination with meropenem and compare it with other β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations against Enterobacterales. The following isolates were screened: (i) an isogenic collection of 94 isolates producing β-lactamases under wild-type and low-permeability conditions, (ii) 300 genetically diverse clinical Enterobacterales isolates producing the three main carbapenemase types (KPC-like, OXA-48-like, and metallo-β-lactamases), and (iii) two collections of isolates producing mechanisms of resistance to β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations, such as KPC variants or PBP3 insertions combined with metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs).

The challenge of assessing intracellular accumulation represents a major hurdle to the discovery of new antibiotics with Gram-negative activity. To address this, a high-throughput assay was developed to measure compound uptake and retention in Escherichia coli using LC/MS. 13,056 diverse small molecules were screened with two isogenic E.

slyA, a member of the MarR family of transcriptional regulators, has been implicated in regulating virulence, stress response, and motility in various Enterobacteriaceae. In this study, we performed transcriptomic profiling of Escherichia coli BW25113 wild-type and its isogenic slyA knockout strain using publicly available RNA-Seq data, each consisting of four biological replicates. Differential gene expression analysis identified 925 significantly altered genes, including key components of the flagellar assembly pathway, such as fliA, flhB, and flgM.
