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.

TL;DR: A cationic heme-mimetic gallium porphyrin photosensitizer suppresses virulence in ESKAPE pathogens, offering a non-antibiotic strategy to combat antibiotic-resistant infections by targeting multiple virulence traits, a promising approach to address antimicrobial resistance.
Identification, antimicrobial susceptibility screening and ESBL-status of Gram-negative bacteria from healthy humans and livestock waste by VITEK-2 Automated System
TL;DR: The study profiled the antibiotic susceptibilities of resident bacteria in healthy humans and livestock waste and found that resident bacteria from healthy individuals harbouring antibiotic resistance may transmit these to other bacteria or cause resistant opportunistic infections difficult to treat.

TL;DR: Distinguishing between MDR-positive BCs representing clinically significant bacteremia or simple contamination requires a careful clinical, biological, and microbiological confrontation of each MDR positive BC in order to avoid unnecessary overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics and thus reduce resistance selective pressure.
Antimicrobial phytoconstituents from Azadirachta indica (neem) with potential inhibitor against FtsZ protein of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
M. E. Orozco-Ugarriza,Nicole Paola Arrieta Caldera,Yenifer Olivo-Martínez +2 more
TL;DR: Phytocompounds from Azadirachta indica have potential inhibitory activity against the FtsZ protein of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Nimbiol exhibits promising binding affinity and inhibition against the target protein.

TL;DR: A large-scale genomic surveillance study identified viruses, bacteria, and antimicrobial resistance genes associated with animal and human health carried by domestic cats in China. The study found that cats can be infected with and transmit Zika virus, and that they carry a substantial number of bacterial species associated with public health.

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.
