Abstract: Resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics is now common in pathogenic bacteria, making treatment of infections difficult. The rapid spread of resistance is mainly related to the dissemination of genes encoding aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes (AMEs). Staphylococci and enterococci… read more here.

Abstract: Gram positive pathogens are a significant cause of healthcare-associated infections, with Staphylococci and Enterococci being the most prevalent ones. Vancomycin, a last resort glycopeptide, is used to fight these bacteria but the emergence of resistance… read more here.
