Open AccessMutations in the efflux pump regulator MexZ shift tissue colonization by Pseudomonas aeruginosa to a state of antibiotic tolerance
Mutations in mexZ, encoding a negative regulator of the expression of the mexXY efflux pump genes, are frequently acquired by Pseudomonas aeruginosa at early stages of lung infection. Although traditionally relat...

Open AccessActivity of imipenem/relebactam and comparators against KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Relebactam is a novel β-lactamase inhibitor, which, when combined with imipenem/cilastatin, is active against both class A and class C β-lactamases. To evaluate in vitro antimicrobial activity of imipenem/rele...

Biosensors for Inducers of Transient Antibiotic Resistance
The acquisition of an antibiotic resistance phenotype can be due to genetic modifications (heritable) or transient changes in bacterial physiology (non-heritable). Induction of the expression of multidrug effl...

Methods for Measuring the Production of Quorum Sensing Signal Molecules
One relevant aspect for understanding the bottlenecks that modulate the spread of resistance among bacterial pathogens consists in the effect that the acquisition of resistance may have on the . Whereas studi...
