- Growth Arrest of Staphylococcus aureus Induces Daptomycin Tolerance via Cell Wall Remodelling. [Journal Article]mBio. 2023 Feb 01 [Online ahead of print]MBIO
- Almost all bactericidal drugs require bacterial replication and/or metabolic activity for their killing activity. When these processes are inhibited by bacteriostatic antibiotics, bacterial killing is significantly reduced. One notable exception is the lipopeptide antibiotic daptomycin, which has been reported to efficiently kill growth-arrested bacteria. However, these studies employed only shor…

- Isolation of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. from sulfonamide-treated diarrheic calves. [Journal Article]Vet World. 2022 Dec; 15(12):2870-2876.VW
- CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that MDR E. coli and Salmonella spp. might be responsible for calf scouring, which is challenging to treat with antibiotics or sulfonamide drugs alone. Therefore, it is important to check the antibiotic sensitivity pattern to select a suitable antibiotic for the treatment of calf scoring. A suitable antibiotic or combination of an antibiotic and sulfonamide could be effective against E. coli and Salmonella spp. responsible for calf scouring.
