Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMultidrug Resistant Microorganisms (MDR) and Biofilm Producers: A Challenge for Hospital Infectious ControlDaniel Lucio, Elizabeth Proaño, Alberto Bustillos et al.Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) now represents a major threat to contemporary health care, especially in hospitals, where repeated antimicrobial exposure selects for and facilitates the dissemination of Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) microorganisms. Biofilm growth adds another layer of persistence by increasing microbial tolerance, supporting long-term colonization of medical devices, and worsening clinical and economic outcomes. This narrative review synthesizes evidence on MDR biofilm-forming … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 12 Sep 2026 · 774 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPrevalence and Determinants of Antibiotic Use by the Elderly in Marrakech, MoroccoNaima Aoutil, Mohamed Cherkaoui, Mohamed BouskraouiAntibiotics are essential for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections; however, their inappropriate use among elderly populations poses serious risks, including the emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms. Antimicrobial resistance has become a critical global public health challenge, with irrational antibiotic use being one of its primary drivers. In Morocco, data on antibiotic use among older adults remain scarce, particularly regarding … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 13 Apr 2026 · 1,365 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImplementation of Antimicrobial Stewardship Program During COVID-19 Era: Cost Effectiveness and Mortality RatesSafaa Alkhiami, Anass Qasem, Hussein Mohamed Hussein, Ali AbdallaThe growing spread of antimicrobial resistance is a major problem on a global level that has provoked several health and government organizations to call for action to counteract the problem. The frequent misuse of antibiotics is prevalent within hospital settings, especially during the COVID-19 era. The introduction of antibiotic stewardship initiatives has demonstrated the capability to decrease both unwarranted antibiotic … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 30 Jan 2024 · 6,287 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTetracycline Resistance Profile in Darwin Finches in the Galapagos IslandsMaría Inés Baquero, Marylin Cruz, Viviana Duque et al.Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), which is the ability of microorganisms to withstand attack by antimicrobial drugs, has a worldwide impact. Thus, it is important to identify resistance mechanisms circulating in the environment. Among antimicrobials widely used in human and veterinary health, tetracycline is ideal due to its safety and has been categorized by the WHO as a critically important antimicrobial. Based … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 19 Dec 2022 · 5,791 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsKnowledge-Practice Gaps of Practicing Doctors on Antimicrobial Stewardship-A Single Center ExperienceSimardeep Kaur, Prativa Sethi, Prasan Kumar PandaThe overwhelming, irrational behaviour of using Antimicrobial (AM) has added to the amplification and spread of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) burden. Healthcare professionals can curtail the AMR by practicing Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS). The single-centre hospital-based observational study aimed at accessing the knowledge, attitude and practice of practicing doctors towards AMS based on a free online open WHO course, a global action … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 22 Feb 2022 · 6,641 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsExtended-Spectrum β-Lactamases Producing Escherichia coli Strains Monitored Over 4 Years in The University Hospital in Košice, SlovakiaViera Lovayová, Lucia Vargová, Mária Nagyová et al.The beta-lactamases with extended spectrum of activity (ESBL) are medically one of the most important group of enzymes. The presented study provides identification and determination of the spectrum of resistance against different and clinically used antimicrobial drugs in the clinical isolates of Escherichia coli. These isolates had their origin in different departments of the University Hospital L. Pasteur in Košice. … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 16 Jun 2016 · 14,537 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBacterial Contamination and Resistance to Commonly Used Antimicrobials of Healthcare Workers' Mobile Phones in Teaching Hospitals, Kerman, IranGholamreza Sepehri, Nooshin Talebizadeh, Ali Mirzazadeh et al.Problem Statement: The contamination rates of Health Care Worker's (HCW) mobile phones and resistance to commonly used antimicrobials were evaluated in three teaching hospitals in Kerman, Iran. So, we examined 150 randomly selected HCWs in three teaching hospitals in Kerman, Iran, 2007. For each HCW a sterile swab moistened with sterile water was rotated over the surface of both sides … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 9,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStudy of Ageratum conyzoides L. (Asteraceae) Phytochemical Composition as Quorum-sensing Inhibitors to Combat Antibiotic-resistant Bacterial InfectionsEli Compaoré, Lassané Ouedraogo, Ablassé Rouamba et al.The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections has intensified the search for plant-derived quorum-sensing (QS) inhibitors as alternative therapeutic strategies. Ageratum conyzoides L. has a long history of traditional use as an antimicrobial agent against multidrug-resistant pathogens, yet the phytochemical basis of its QS-inhibitory activity remains incompletely characterized. This study aimed to investigate the phytochemical composition of A. conyzoides and evaluate … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2026 · 1,772 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCarbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae in Korean Elderly Nursing Hospitals in 2023: Prevalence, Mortality, and Resistance PatternsLee Hye Seong, Jang Sung Hun, Kim Jae KyungInfections caused by Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) represent a critical threat in healthcare settings owing to limited therapeutic options and high associated mortality. However, the epidemiological patterns and dynamics of CRE transmission in geriatric care hospitals remain poorly characterized. We elucidated the monthly incidence, bacterial species distribution, resistance genotypes, and patient demographics of CRE infections among inpatients at a senior care … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 30 Jan 2026 · 2,101 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIn Vitro Antimicrobial Activity of Modified Lysozyme (Lys 90) and Herbal Extracts Against Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coliEni Kusumaningtyas, Bagem BR Sembiring, Andriani et al.The emergence of Antimicrobial Resistant (AMR) poses a significant challenge to the poultry farming industry. This study investigated the potential of Lysozyme (Lys), modified Lysozyme (Lys 90), an herbal extract, and their combination (herbs + Lys 90) as alternative antimicrobial agents against Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli (MDR-E. coli).
