Systematic mapping of antibiotic cross-resistance and collateral sensitivity with chemical genetics

Camille Véronique Bernadette Goemans, Florian Huber

By acquiring or evolving resistance to one antibiotic, bacteria can become resistant to a second one, due to shared underlying mechanisms. This is called cross-resistance (XR) and further limits therapeutic choices. The opposite scenario, in which initial ...

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing with integrated photonic crystal optical tweezers

Nicolas Villa

The abusive use of antimicrobial drugs during the last eighty years has favoured the natural selection of resistant pathogens able to neutralise drugs efficiently. Nowadays, antimicrobial resistance contributes to millions of deaths yearly, threatens the e ...

Effect of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride on various Escherichia coli strains and their inactivation kinetics by ozone and monochloramine

Urs von Gunten, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Margaux Océane Voumard

Cethyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTMA) is one of the most used quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) in consumer products. CTMA and other QACs are only partially eliminated in municipal wastewater treatment and they can interact with bacteria in biological ...

Design and Evaluation of New Quinazolin-4(3H)-one Derived PqsR Antagonists as Quorum Sensing Quenchers in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Eduard Vico Oton

P. aeruginosa (PA) continues to pose a threat to global public health due to its high levels of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The ongoing AMR crisis has led to an alarming shortage of effective treatments for resistant microbes, and hence there is a pres ...

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing by measuring bacterial oxygen consumption on an integrated platform

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Yang Liu

Cellular respiration is a fundamental feature of metabolic activity and oxygen consumption can be considered as a reliable indicator of bacterial aerobic respiration, including for facultative anaerobic bacteria like E. coli. Addressing the emerging global ...
