  21. Identification of a second two-component signal transduction system that controls fosfomycin tolerance and glycerol-3-phosphate uptake

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Fosfomycin resurfaced in particular interest because it is a great beneficial antibiotic for refractory infectious diseases caused by pathogens that are resistant to other commonly used antibiotics. Cells that are resistant to fosfomycin by chromosomal mutation have a high biological cost. We previously found that a bacterial two-component system, CpxAR induces fosfomycin tolerance of enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) O157:H7.

  22. Clinical Isolates of Salmonella enterica Serovar Agona Producing NDM-1 Metallo-{beta}-Lactamase: First Report from Pakistan [Case Reports]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • We report two cases of infantile diarrhea due to multidrug-resistant, NDM-1 metallo-β-lactamase-producing Salmonella enterica serovar Agona from Pakistan. This study alerts toward possible risk of NDM-1 transmission to enteric fever pathogens and encourages microbiologists to consider active screening of carbapenem resistance in nontyphoidal Salmonella isolates.

  23. Genomic Signature of Multidrug-Resistant Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi Isolates Related to a Massive Outbreak in Zambia between 2010 and 2012 [Bacteriology]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • Retrospectively, we investigated the epidemiology of a massive Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi outbreak in Zambia during 2010 to 2012. Ninety-four isolates were susceptibility tested by MIC determinations. Whole-genome sequence typing (WGST) of 33 isolates and bioinformatic analysis identified the multilocus sequence type (MLST), haplotype, plasmid replicon, antimicrobial resistance genes, and genetic relatedness by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis and genomic deletions.
