The epidemiology of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) has drastically changed since the emergence of the epidemic strain BI/NAP1/027, also known as ribotype 027 (R027). However, the relationship between the infecting C. difficile strain and clinical outcomes is still debated. We
Clostridium (Clostridioides) difficile has been identified in humans and a wide range of animal species, but there has been little study of remote animal populations with limited human contact. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and

A major challenge associated with the determination of the unbound brain-to-plasma concentration ratio of a drug (K(p,uu,brain)), is the error associated with correction for the drug in various vascular spaces of the brain, i.e., in residual blood. The apparent brain

Hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) methods and density functional theory (DFT) were used to investigate the initial ring-opening step in the hydrolysis of moxalactam catalyzed by the dizinc L1 beta-lactamase from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. Anchored at the enzyme active site via

Metallo-beta-lactamases are zinc-dependent enzymes responsible for resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics in a variety of host bacteria, usually Gram-negative species that act as opportunist pathogens. They hydrolyze all classes of beta-lactam antibiotics, including carbapenems, and escape the action of available beta-lactamase
