TL;DR: The acquisition of antimicrobial resistance genes by ESKAPE pathogens has reduced the treatment options for serious infections, increased the burden of disease, and increased death rates due to treatment failure and requires a coordinated global response for antim antibiotic resistance surveillance.

Abstract: Antimicrobial-resistant ESKAPE ( Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species) pathogens represent a global threat to human health. The acquisition of antimicrobial resistance genes by ESKAPE pathogens has reduced the treatment options for serious infections, increased the burden of disease, and increased death rates due to treatment failure and requires a coordinated global response for antimicrobial resistance surveillance. This looming health threat has restimulated interest in the development of new antimicrobial therapies, has demanded the need for better patient care, and has facilitated heightened governance over stewardship practices.

Secondary Metabolites: Treasure Trove for Future Medicine
R. Mitra,Suparna Ghosh,Gourab Mukherjee,Avik Acharya Chowdhury +3 more
TL;DR: Secondary metabolites are natural compounds derived from plants that have diverse therapeutic applications in treating various diseases. They serve as the basis for traditional medicine and have been shown to have antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors collected swine fecal samples from six intensive swine farms for two years and analyzed them for the detection and abundance of class 1 integrons (used as proxy of antibiotic resistance and of anthropogenic pollution), and of enterococci [fecal indicator bacteria (FIB and potentially pathogenic for humans] by quantitative Real Time PCR.

Library Screening for Synergistic Combinations of FDA-Approved Drugs and Metabolites with Vancomycin against VanA-Type Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecium
TL;DR: This study reports a complete screen of 1,000 FDA-approved drugs and their metabolites against vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) in both the absence and presence of vancomYcin, and identified potentially synergistic combinations of FDA- approved drugs with van comycin.

- 14 Dec 2023
TL;DR: The secondary metabolites produced by the endophytic actinomycetes demonstrated an antibiotic potential against clinical strains (nasopharynx) of Corynebacterium propinquum, a rare pathogen described for causing infections in patients with pulmonary involvement, pleural effusion, bacteremia and endocarditis and which presents an emerging antibiotic resistance.

TL;DR: A group of international experts came together through a joint initiative by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to create a standardized international terminology with which to describe acquired resistance profiles in Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus spp.

TL;DR: The emergence of MCR-1 heralds the breach of the last group of antibiotics, polymyxins, by plasmid-mediated resistance, in Enterobacteriaceae and emphasise the urgent need for coordinated global action in the fight against pan-drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.
