The increasing, problem of antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria requires development of new antimicrobial agents. Synthesis and experimental application of the hybrids peptides may be one of the interesting possibilities in antimicrobial treatment. The aim of the present investigation is to determinate in vitro activities of two synthetic peptide amides: cecropin-melittin hybrid peptide...
A set of well characterized strains, collected in Polish hospitals, including Gram-negative (n = 93) and Gram-positive (n = 90) isolates was used in the study. The VITEK 2 AST-cards were used in the analysis according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Comparison of the susceptibility data obtained by the standard method and by VITEK 2 cards proved concordant in 99% of cases. Clinically important...
Studies on new antibacterial therapeutics and strategies are currently being conducted in many microbiological, pharmaceutical and biochemical laboratories. The antibacterial activity of plant-derived compounds as well as silver and gold nanoparticles is the subject of this minireview. The application of photodynamic therapy is also discussed.
The aim of the study was to determine the influence of the presence or the absence of antibiotic input on the emergence and maintenance of resistance in commensal bacteria from food producing animals. The research material constituted E.coli isolates from two animal species: swine at different age from one conventional pig farm with antibiotic input in young pigs and from beef and dairy cattle originated...
The objectives of the investigation presented in this paper were: to examine the frequency of P. mirabilis isolation from catheters and assess the complexity of multi-species biofilms which these bacteria form, as well as to determine the vulnerability of planktonic and sessile P. mirabilis populations to popular antibiotics and compare it to the susceptibility of other Gram-negative bacteria isolated...
