Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus | Antibiotics & Antimicrobial Resistance 2020

-
Meticillin‐resistant staph aureus (MRSA) continues to cause a serious threat to human health. In animals, MRSA has become established as a veterinary infectious agent in pets and horses; in eutherian mammal, it presents a priority for public health as a reservoir that may infect humans and as a supply of transferrable resistance genes.


Genetic analyses have discovered that the medicine of MRSA is completely different in numerous animal hosts. whereas human hospital‐associated MRSA lineages area unit most typically concerned in pet infection and carriage, horse‐specific MRSA most frequently represent ‘traditional’ equine S. aureus lineages. A recent development within the medicine of animal MRSA is that the emergence of pig‐adapted strains, like CC398 and CC9, that seem to possess arisen severally within the pig population.

Recent insight into the order structure and also the evolution of S. aureus has helped to clarify key aspects of those 3 distinct medical specialty eventualities. This nonsystematic literature review summarizes the structure and variations of the S. aureus order and offers an outline of this distribution of MRSA lineages in varied animal species. It additionally discusses gift data concerning the emergence and evolution of MRSA in animals, adaptation to completely different host species and response to selective pressure from animal‐specific environments.


An improved understanding of the biology and selective pressure that underpin the accommodative behaviour of S. aureus is also employed in the long run to predict new developments in cocci diseases and to research novel management ways needed at a time of skyrocketing resistance to antimicrobial agents.

Proper disposal of leftover medication can help reduce antibiotic resistance

Proper disposal of leftover medication, particularly antibiotics and opioids, can help reduce antibiotic resistance, prevent children from being poisoned and stop the misuse of addiction-forming drugs. But a telephone survey conducted by researchers at UC San Francisco found that fewer than half of California pharmacies provided disposal instructions meeting U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines, and just 10 percent followed the FDA's preferred recommendation to take back unused medications from their customers. Over a two-month period in early 2018 researchers posing as parents of children who had recently had surgery spoke to employees at nearly 900 pharmacies in California and asked them what to do with two leftover medications: the antibiotic Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim), and liquid Hycet (hydrocodone-acetaminophen), a pain reliever containing an opioid compound. Neither medication should be left in the medicine cabinet, since the antibiotics could be

Bacteria can survive under antibiotic exposure by developing a biological timer

-

Hebrew University of Jerusalem researchers showed that when exposed to repeated cycles of antibiotics, bacteria evolved a new adaptation by remaining dormant for the treatment period. The results show for the first time that bacteria can develop a biological timer to survive under antibiotic exposure. With this new understanding of how bacteria evolve survival strategies, scientists could develop new approaches for slowing the evolution of antibiotic resistance. The ability of microorganisms to overcome antibiotic treatments is one of the top concerns of modern medicine. The effectiveness of many antibiotics has been reduced by bacteria's ability to rapidly evolve and develop strategies to resist antibiotics. Bacteria achieve this by specific mechanisms that are tailored to the molecular structure or function of a particular antibiotic. For example, bacteria would typically develop drug resistance by evolving a mutation that breaks down the drug. Researchers at the Hebrew Uni

Antibiotic resistance is a natural phenomenon amplified by inappropriate uses..

-

Antimicrobial resistance is the phenomenon whereby bacteria exposed to the same antibiotic for a prolonged period of time mutate and become resistant, which makes their control, difficult, if not impossible, with current treatments. This phenomenon stems from the process of natural selection. From the discovery of the first antibiotics, Alexander Fleming, discoverer of penicillin, had already revealed this major risk to their effectiveness for health in the long term. However, it has been seriously amplified by an excessive and inconsiderate use of antibiotics for 50 years, in both human and animal health. It is estimated, for example, that about 80% of the antibiotics sold in the United   States are destined for animal husbandry. The first bacteria resistant to antibiotics appeared as early as the 1960s, very soon after the first treatments were marketed. Since then, antibiotic-resistant bacteria have been multiplying. Many bacteria that cause serious infections in humans, s
