Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in 2019: a systematic analysis

Christopher J. L. Murray et al.

Summary: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to global human health, and this study provides the most comprehensive estimates of AMR burden to date. By estimating deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) associated with bacterial AMR in 204 countries and territories in 2019, the study highlights the impact of resistance and the leading pathogen-drug combinations contributing to it.

Discovery of thiosemicarbazone derivatives as effective New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) inhibitors against NDM-1 producing clinical isolates

Bing Zhao et al.

Summary: New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) poses a threat to public health as it can hydrolyze nearly all beta-lactam antibiotics. In this study, thiosemicarbazone derivatives were evaluated for their potential to treat NDM-1 positive superbugs, with compounds 19bg and 19bh showing promising activity. Molecular docking suggested these compounds may inhibit NDM-1 in an allosteric pocket, potentially offering new treatment options for NDM-1 producing strains.

Emerging Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Infection, Its Epidemiology and Novel Treatment Options: A Review

Mihret Tilahun et al.

Summary: Infections due to multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae have become a major global public health issue, with transmission facilitated by inappropriate antimicrobial use and increased global connectivity. Carbapenems, the current medications of choice, are facing increasing resistance globally, necessitating the search for alternative treatment options. Ceftazidime-avibactam is currently the most common treatment option, with other novel drugs under trial for different populations. Treatment should be tailored to patient susceptibility, infection type, and personal characteristics.
