- Mechanisms of ResistanceRibosome-Mediated Attenuation of vga(A) Expression Is Shaped by the Antibiotic Resistance Specificity of Vga(A) Protein Variants
Vga(A) protein variants confer different levels of resistance to lincosamides, streptogramin A, and pleuromutilins (LSAP) by displacing antibiotics from the ribosome. Here, we show that expression of vga(A) variants from Staphylococcus haemolyticus is regulated by cis-regulatory RNA in response to the LSAP antibiotics by the...
- Mechanisms of ResistanceAntimicrobial Susceptibility and Clonality of Vaginally Derived Multidrug-Resistant Mobiluncus Isolates in China
Here, the antimicrobial susceptibility, resistance mechanisms, and clonality of Mobiluncus sp. isolates recovered from gynecological outpatients in China were investigated. Compared to M. mulieris, M. curtisii exhibited higher antimicrobial resistance to metronidazole, clindamycin, and...
- PharmacologyKinetic Driver of Antibacterial Drugs against Plasmodium falciparum and Implications for Clinical Dosing
Antibacterial drugs are an important component of malaria therapy. We studied the interactions of clindamycin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, and ciprofloxacin against Plasmodium falciparum under static and dynamic conditions. In microtiter plate assays (static conditions), and as expected, parasites displayed the delayed death response characteristic for apicoplast-...
