Effect of Glycerol on Fosfomycin Activity against Escherichia coli
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022)
Fosfomycin is an antimicrobial that inhibits the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan by entering the bacteria through two channels (UhpT and GlpT). Glycerol is clinically used as a treatment for elevated intracranial pressure ...
Article
Interplay Among Different Fosfomycin Resistance Mechanisms in Klebsiella Pneumoniae
(American Society for Microbiology, 2021)
The objectives of this study were to characterize the role of the uhpT, glpT, and fosA genes in fosfomycin resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae and evaluate the use of sodium phosphonoformate (PPF) in combination with ...
Article
Prevalence, Incidence, and Risk Factors for Intestinal Colonization Due to Fluoroquinolone-Resistant ST131 Escherichia coli: a Longitudinal Study in Highly Dependent, Long-Term Care Facility Residents
(American Society for Microbiology, 2022)
Escherichia coli ST131 clade C is an important driver for fluoroquinolone resistance (FQ-R). We conducted a prospective observational study in residents from two long-term care facilities (LTCFs) in Seville, Spain, in 2018. ...
PhD Thesis
Strategies to potentiate bactericidal antimicrobial activity based on the suppression of bacterial stress response systems
(2023-05-25)
One of the major threats to human health is the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Since the discovery of antimicrobials, new mechanisms of resistance have emerged. Various strategies are being studied to combat the ...

Urinary tract physiological conditions promote ciprofloxacin resistance in low-level-quinolone-resistant Escherichia coli
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016-07-01)
Escherichia coli isolates carrying chromosomally encoded low-level-quinolone-resistant (LLQR) determinants are frequently found in urinary tract infections (UTIs). LLQR mutations are considered the first step in the ...
Article
Cellular Response to Ciprofloxacin in Low-Level Quinolone-Resistant Escherichia coli
(Frontiers Media, 2017)
Bactericidal activity of quinolones has been related to a combination of DNA fragmentation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and programmed cell death (PCD) systems. The underlying molecular systems responsible ...
PhD Thesis
Resistencia a quinolonas mediada por plásmido en enterobacteriaceae
(2006)
En 1998, se describió por primera vez resistencia a quinolonas transmisible horizontalmente mediante un plásmido conjugativo. La diseminación horizontal de mecanismos de resistencia a fluoroquinolonas abre la posibilidad ...
Article
Predictive analysis of transmissible quinolone resistance indicates Stenotrophomonas maltophilia as a potential source of a novel family of Qnr determinants
(BioMed Central, 2008)
Background Predicting antibiotic resistance before it emerges at clinical settings constitutes a novel approach for preventing and fighting resistance of bacterial pathogens. To analyse the possibility that novel ...
Article
Detection of low-level fosfomycin-resistant variants by decreasing glucose-6-phosphate concentration in fosfomycin susceptibility determination
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020)
Mutations that confer low-level fosfomycin resistance (LLFR) but not clinical resistance in Escherichia coli are increasingly reported. LLFR strains can become clinically resistant under urinary tract physiological conditions ...
Article
Mutant prevention concentrations of fluoroquinolones for Enterobacteriaceae expressing the plasmid-carried quinolone resistance determinant qnrA1
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007-06-01)
The influence of qnrA1 on the development of quinolone resistance in Enterobacteriaceae was evaluated by using the mutant prevention concentration parameter. The expression of qnrA1 considerably increased the mutant ...
