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.

N-(4-Substituted Aryl) amino acids as potential antibacterial agents
31 Mar 2023
TL;DR: In this article , the N-aryl amino acids 3a-3j were obtained by reacting different 4-substituted fluorobenzene 1a-1d with different amino acids 2a-2g via a metal-free, base-induced aryl amination reaction.
Rare Actinomycetes from Undiscovered Sources as a Source of Novel Antimicrobial Agents to Control Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria
TL;DR: The major cause of death worldwide is infectious diseases and about 10 billion deaths, which represent 25% of all the major causes of death per year were recorded due to the rapidly increasing number of infections in hospitals among compromised and injured patients as discussed by the authors .
The DEAD-box RNA helicases RhlE2 is a global regulator of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lifestyle and pathogenesis
TL;DR: In this paper, the two RhlE homologs present in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa were studied, and it was shown that the global action of rhlE2 relies on a unique C-terminal extension, which establishes an RNA-dependent interaction with the RNase E endonuclease and the cellular RNA degradation machinery.

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.
