This pilot project implemented admission screening for Candida auris (C. auris) using real-time polymerase chain reaction (rt-PCR) in select high-risk units within health care facilities in New York City. An admission screening encounter consisted of collecting 2 swabs, to be tested by rt-PCR, and a data collection form for individuals admitted to ...

In this work, we show that the addition of thiourea (TU) initiated broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity of otherwise inactive D-maltose-capped gold nanoclusters (AuNC-Mal). For example, AuNC-Mal/TU was effective against multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 1 μg mL-1 (2.5 μM [Au]) while having ...

Surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among veterinary pathogens is necessary to identify clinically relevant patterns of AMR and to inform antimicrobial use practices. Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus and Rhodococcus equi are bacterial pathogens of major clinical importance in horses and are frequently implicated in respiratory tra...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a key opportunistic pathogen causing a wide range of community- and hospital-acquired infections in immunocompromised or catheterized patients. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant (MDR) P. aeruginosa DMC30b to elucidate the genetic diversity, molecular epidemiology, and underlying mechanis...

Multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1/ABCC1) is an ATP-dependent efflux transporter, and responsible for the transport of a broad spectrum of xenobiotics, toxins, and physiological substrates across the plasma membrane. As an efflux pump, it plays a significant role in the absorption and disposition of drugs including anticancer drugs, antivirals, a...

Klebsiella Pneumoniae is globally responsible for hospital- and community-acquired infections. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of K. pneumoniae and investigate the antibiotic resistance profile among clinical specimens at Azadi Teaching Hospital in Kirkuk, Iraq, and detect the rpoB gene for molecular identification of K. pneumoniae in ...

We aimed to compare and contrast the proportions of treatment outcome between developing and developed countries in children treated for multidrug resistance tuberculosis (MDR-TB). We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of articles published on children treated for MDR-TB. We searched published articles from electronic databases: PubMed...

Crocin is one of the substantial constituents of saffron extract. It has multiple clinical effects including anti-cancer effects. The development of the multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype is one of the principal causes of cancer chemotherapy failure. The multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) is one of the MDR-related protein and is often overexpr...

Most of the anticancer chemotherapy are hampered via the development of multidrug resistance (MDR), which is resistance of tumor cells against cytotoxic effects of multiple chemotherapeutic agents. Overexpression and/or over-activation of ATP-dependent drug efflux transporters is a key mechanism underlying MDR development. Moreover, enhancement of ...
