Where the genetic basis for resistance has been examined, antibiotic resistance in plant pathogens has most often evolved through the acquisition of a resistance determinant via horizontal gene transfer. For ex- ample, the strAB streptomycin-resistance genes occur in Erwinia amylovora, Pseudomonas syringae,andXanthomonas campestris, and these genes have pre- sumably been acquired from nonpathogenic epiphytic bacteria colocated on plant hosts under antibiotic selection. We currently lack knowledge of the effect of the microbiome of commensal organisms on the potential of plant pathogens to evolve antibiotic resistance.

We reviewed the scientific literature on socioeconomic factors associated with the emergence and 30 dissemination of antimicrobial resistance. Using multivariate regression, we tested findings from the literature drawing from a longitudinal dataset on antimicrobial resistance from 41 major private and public hospitals and 31 a nationally representative household survey in Chile (2008–2017). We estimated resistance rates for three pri- 32 ority antibiotic–bacterium pairs, as defined by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development; 33 i.e., imipenem and meropenem resistant P. aeruginosa, cloxacillin resistant S. aureus, and cefotaxime and 34 ciprofloxacin resistant E. coli. 35 Results.

  • The Use of Bactericides in Plant Agriculture with Reference to Use in Ci
    The Use of Bactericides in Plant Agriculture with Reference to Use in Ci... http://citrusrdf.org/use_of_bactericides_in_plant_ag_2016-02-04#more-4047 … Stephanie L. Slinski, Ph.D., Bactericide Project Manager, CRDF February 2016 The purpose of this communication is to discuss the use of bactericides in plant agriculture to control disease epidemics and the approaches that have been tested to control Huanglongbing (HLB) in citrus trees. The Citrus Research and Development Foundation (CRDF) has made this topic a priority in responding to HLB in Florida citrus. HLB is a disease devastating the citrus industry in Florida and throughout the world. Presently, no chemical treatment or resistant plant is available that will control the disease. For the Florida citrus industry to survive this epidemic, a chemical control will be necessary to suppress the disease, keeping the trees in production until groves can be replanted with resistant or tolerant varieties. This is similar to approaches taken during plant disease epidemics in other crops, which were eventually controlled by the planting of resistant varieties. Oxytetracycline, streptomycin sulfate and copper have been the main chemicals available to treat bacterial plant diseases in the US. The use of copper is limited to foliar diseases in regions where copper resistance is not widespread. Streptomycin and oxytetracycline are routinely used on some crops when copper is inadequate. Oxytetracycline has also often been used in the past to help manage plant disease epidemics. Research using bactericides on citrus suggests that chemical control may improve citrus tree health and contribute to sustaining the citrus industry in the current epidemic. Introduction The disease HLB has been known in many regions of the world for over a century.

  • Resistance to Cancer Chemotherapy
    Alfarouk et al. Cancer Cell Int (2015) 15:71 DOI 10.1186/s12935-015-0221-1 REVIEW Open Access Resistance to cancer chemotherapy: failure in drug response from ADME to P‑gp Khalid O Alfarouk1*, Christian‑Martin Stock2, Sophie Taylor3, Megan Walsh3, Abdel Khalig Muddathir4, Daniel Verduzco5, Adil H H Bashir1, Osama Y Mohammed6, Gamal O Elhassan7,8, Salvador Harguindey9, Stephan J Reshkin10, Muntaser E Ibrahim1 and Cyril Rauch3 Abstract Cancer chemotherapy resistance (MDR) is the innate and/or acquired ability of cancer cells to evade the effects of chemotherapeutics and is one of the most pressing major dilemmas in cancer therapy. Chemotherapy resistance can arise due to several host or tumor-related factors. However, most current research is focused on tumor-specific factors and specifically genes that handle expression of pumps that efflux accumulated drugs inside malignantly transformed types of cells. In this work, we suggest a wider and alternative perspective that sets the stage for a future platform in modifying drug resistance with respect to the treatment of cancer. Keywords: Drug, Resistance, Pharmacokinetics, ADME, pH, MDR Background Macroscopic (systemic) resistance [host–related In US only, the newly diagnosed cancer patient is factors] 1,665,540 every year and the estimated death is 585,720 One of the major effects of host-related factors that [1] which are increasing as countries become more devel- determine the activity of the drug is pharmacokinetic. oped and more people reach advanced ages.

These drug interactions are a major concern in clinical practice as they may have an effect on efficacy and toxicity. This article provides an overview of all published pharmacokinetic studies on drug interactions of the commonly prescribed antimicrobial drugs oxazolidinones, rifamycines, macrolides, fluoroquinolones, and beta-lactams, focusing on systematic research. We describe drug-food and drug-drug interaction studies in humans, affecting antimicrobial drugs as well as concomitantly administered drugs. Since knowledge about mechanisms is of paramount importance for adequate management of drug interactions, the most plausible underlying mechanism of the drug interaction is provided when available.
