Recently, we reported rifabutin hyper-activity against Acinetobacter baumannii. We sought to characterize if any additional rifamycins (n = 22) would also display hyper-activity when tested in iron-limited media against A. baumannii, K. pneumoniae, a

ABSTRACT Novel approaches to combating antibiotic resistance are needed given the ever-continuing rise of antibiotic resistance and the scarce discovery of new antibiotics. Little is known about the colonization dynamics and the role of intrinsic pla

ABSTRACT We recently reported that the antimicrobial activity of rifabutin against Acinetobacter baumannii is best modeled by the use of RPMI for in vitro susceptibility testing. Here, we define the effects of medium on the susceptibility and frequen

Acinetobacter baumannii is a highly antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogen for which novel therapeutic approaches are needed. Unfortunately, the drivers of virulence in A. baumannii remain uncertain. By comparing genomes among a panel of A. baumanni

ABSTRACT Agricultural use of antibiotics is recognized by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a major contributor to antibiotic-resistant infections. While most One Health attention has been on the potential for antibiotic resistan

Staphylococcus aureus is the leading cause of nosocomial and community-acquired infections, including soft tissue and skin infections and bacteremia. However, efforts to develop an effective vaccine against S. aureus infections have not been successf

Antibiotic resistance represents a global health concern. Soil, water, livestock and plant foods are directly or indirectly exposed to antibiotics due to their agricultural use or contamination. This selective pressure has acted synergistically to ba

Clostridioides difficile colitis overgrowth occurs when the normal gut microbiome becomes disrupted, often due to antibiotics. Effective treatment remains elusive, due partly to the persistence of its spores in the gut. Natural substances like manuka

The seven WhiB proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) are widely believed to be redox-sensing transcription factors due to their binding of iron-sulfur clusters and similarities to DNA binding proteins. Here, we explored the nature of this hyp

Acinetobacter baumannii is an extremely drug-resistant pathogen necessitating the development of new therapies. We seek to generate a cocktail of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that can target the full diversity of A. baumannii isolates.
