Bacterial plasmids are self-replicating, extrachromosomal elements associated with a variety of phenotypic traits including virulence, enhanced fitness, and resistance to antimicrobial agents. They pl
Polymyxins are important last-line antibiotics for treatment of severe Klebsiella pneumoniae infection. In recent years, the isolation rate of multidrug-resistant hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (MDR-hvKP
Vancomycin-variable enterococci (VVE) are vanA-positive, vancomycin-susceptible enterococci with the ability to revert to a vancomycin-resistant phenotype on exposure to vancomycin. We sought to asses
Aim: The development of carbon quantum dots (C-QDs) as nanotrackers to understand drug–pathogen interactions, virulence and multidrug resistance. Methods: Microwave synthesis of C-QDs was performed us
