Patients undergoing intensive chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia are at high risk for bacterial infections during therapy-related neutropenia. However, the use of specific antibiotic regimens for prophylaxis in afebrile neutropenic... more
Background: Multidrug-resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii have been reported increasingly around the world. The administration of an association of antibiotics has been proposed to create an active combination and to prevent the... more
The molecular characterization of 37 clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa obtained during September 2013 and September 2014 was conducted based on the 16S rDNA and oprL genes. The genetic diversity among isolates was determined with... more
Acinetobacter baumannii has successfully developed resistance against all common antibiotics, including colistin (polymyxin E), the last universally active drug against this pathogen. The possible widespread distribution of... more
The aim of this study was to determine the impact of carbapenemase-producingEnterobacteriaceae(CPE) in Spain in 2013 by describing the prevalence, dissemination, and geographic distribution of CPE clones, and their population structure... more
Background: Colistin is one of the oldest antibiotics in the polymyxin group, and is used mostly against gram-negative bacteria. Because of developing resistance among clinical isolates colistin has become an alternative drug for... more
We report the whole genome sequence analysis of Chryseobacterium oranimense G311, a multidrug resistant bacterium, including resistance to colistin, for the first time from a cystic fibrosis patient in France. Whole genome sequencing of... more
The impact of under-acylation of lipid A on the interaction between Klebsiella pneumoniae LPS and polymyxins B and E was examined with fluorometric and calorimetric methods, and by (1)H NMR, using a paired wild type (WT) and the ΔlpxM... more
