The rapid global spread of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria and the lack of new antibiotics to treat infections caused by these organisms pose a threat to infection prevention and treatment protocols. Thus a better understanding of the pathogenesis and drug resistance profile are important to identify better targets and develop novel drugs to treat MDR bacteria. In this study, we will …
The evolution, the increased prevalence and the spread of bacteria resistant to multiple antibiotics, aggravated by the lack of new drugs, produces a serious global problem for the control and management of infections. Molecular techniques have been used to mitigate some of these problems. Most of these techniques can be used to identify genes and genetic elements responsible for the diss…
The indiscriminate use of antibiotics in human health, veterinary, and agricultural sectors has led to the selection of resistant bacterial strains, compromising the treatment of infectious diseases and increasing morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Klebsiella oxytoca, an opportunistic Gram-negative bacterium, has gained attention due to its increasing resistance to multiple antib…
The growing incidence of antibiotic resistant bacteria is one of the major challenges in public health worldwide. Additionally, a phenomenon called heteroresistance, where resistant subpopulations of bacteria are present within a larger population of bacteria fully susceptible to antimicrobials, may be leading to the failure of antimicrobial-based treatments. Serratia marcescens is a path…
The emergence of Enterobacteriaceae resistant to carbapenem antibiotics (CRE) represents one of the most serious public health challenges in the world. Currently, antibiotic options for the treatment of CRE are very limited, with tigecycline and colistin being the last two treatment options. However, tigecycline resistance and colistin heteroresistance are also rapidly increasing. Klebsie…
In recent years, the increase in morbidity and mortality due to infections caused by resistant bacteria has become, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is one of the most serious global public health threats. K. oxytoca is a Gram-negative facultative anaerobic bacterium belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family, that is closely related to K. pneumoniae. K. oxytoca is consid…

At initial steps of meiosis, a number of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are introduced, which initiate homologous recombination (HR). HR promotes exchange of genetic information between homologous chromosomes and promotes accurate chromosome segregation. This is required for the formation of gametes with the correct number of chromosomes and avoidance of human aneuploidy. Given the possi…
