U01.03.014 Antibiotic resistance mechanisms Antibiotic resistance mechanisms enable bacteria to survive exposure to antimicrobial agents through genetic mutations or acquired resistance genes. Key mechanisms include enzyme inactivation (β-lactamases), altered drug targets, decreased permeability, and efflux pumps, leading to treatment failure and global public health challenges.

Combating Multi-drug Resistant Mycobacterium Species by Efflux Pump Inhibitors: Contemporary Trends Announcing a new article publication for BIO Integration journal. Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) complex (MTBC), which includes M.tb as one of the causative bacteria....

This recent review provides an overview of #antibioticresistance in #Mycobacterium spp. with a focus on several key factors, such as enzyme-mediated antibiotic deactivation, gene expression, #biofilm formation, and the role of #effluxpumps.
