and colleagues examined recent gonorrhea susceptibility trends (when antibiotics are effective at killing or stopping the growth of a certain bacteria in the laboratory, the bacteria is known as ...

Susceptibility testing of bacterial isolates is shown in Table 2. We analysed the effectiveness of commonly used empirical antibiotics in clinics, including fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides ...

The goal is to help providers make more informed prescribing decisions that will benefit their patients and help prevent the spread of resistant bacteria. Susceptibility test interpretive criteria ...

Hospital antibiotic stewardship teams typically publish bacterial susceptibility data relevant to their inpatient setting. While those data may reveal some information about the larger community ...

Biologists have corrected a flaw in the way bacterial susceptibility to antibiotic drugs is tested. When a patient is prescribed the wrong antibiotic to treat a bacterial infection, it's not ...

Now investigators at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have developed a simple and versatile method using inkjet printing technology to test such bacteria for susceptibility to ...

Characterization of dental plaque bacteria cultivable on media containing triclosan [10,11] as well as the triclosan susceptibility of oral and non-oral bacteria [15] has been previously described.

In lab-adapted bacterial strains with a single ribosomal RNA operon, researchers identified rare spontaneous mutations in the 16S rRNA that reduced lariocidin susceptibility—further validating ...

But for now, there are no drugs that increase bacterial susceptibility to existing antibiotics. “It’s totally unexpected to see an antihistamine compound have this effect,” says chemist ...
