Antimicrobial susceptibility testing is an essential task for selecting appropriate antimicrobial
agents to treat infectious diseases. Constant evolution has been observed in methods used …

Our knowledge about the fundamental aspects of biofilm biology, including the mechanisms
behind the reduced antimicrobial susceptibility of biofilms, has increased drastically over the …

Bacteria in biofilms are embedded in extracellular matrix and display low metabolic activity,
partly due to insufficient diffusive exchange of metabolic substrate. The extracellular matrix …

Antimicrobial resistance is a global threat to human health and welfare, food safety, and
environmental health. The rapid detection and quantification of antimicrobial resistance are …

Objectives The worldwide emergence of antibiotic resistance calls for effective exploitation
of existing antibiotics. Antibiotic combinations with different modes of action can synergize …

Objectives To evaluate the activity of meropenem–amikacin and meropenem–colistin
combinations with checkerboard broth microdilution (CKBM) compared with isothermal …

Nucleic acid-based materials showcase an increasing potential for antimicrobial drug
delivery. Although numerous reports on drug-loaded DNA nanoparticles outline their pivotal …

The use of quorum-sensing inhibitors (QSI) has been proposed as an alternative strategy to
combat antibiotic resistance. QSI reduce the virulence of a pathogen without killing it and it is …

Antimicrobial resistance is a global health threat. Misuse and overuse of antimicrobials are
the main drivers in developing drug-resistant bacteria. The emergence of the rapid global …

Effective antimicrobials are crucial for managing Staphylococcus aureus implant-associated
bone infections (IABIs), particularly for infections due to rifampin-resistant S. aureus (RRSA) …
