Bacterial Resistance to Antimicrobial Agents
Varela, M.F.; Stephen, J.; Lekshmi, M.; Ojha, M.; Wenzel, N.; Sanford, L.M.; Hernandez, A.J.; Parvathi, A.; Kumar, S.H. (MDPI AG, 2021)Bacterial pathogens as causative agents of infection constitute an alarming concern in the public health sector. In particular, bacteria with resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents can confound chemotherapeutic efficacy ... -
Efflux Pump-Mediated Quorum Sensing: New Avenues for Modulation of Antimicrobial Resistance and Bacterial Virulence
Lekshmi, M.; Parvathi, A.; Kumar, Sanath; Varela, M.F. (Springer, Singapore, 2018)Bacterial pathogenesis is frequently enhanced by virulence mechanisms that facilitate growth. Such virulence factors include biofilm formation and antimicrobial resistance mechanisms. One primary resistance mechanism ... -
Functional and Structural Roles of the Major Facilitator Superfamily Bacterial Multidrug Efflux Pumps
Sanath, Kumar; Lekshmi, M.; Parvathi, A.; Ojha, M.; Wenzel, N.; Varela, M.F. (MDPI AG, 2020)Pathogenic microorganisms that are multidrug-resistant can pose severe clinical and public health concerns. In particular, bacterial multidrug efflux transporters of the major facilitator superfamily constitute a notable ... -
Salmonella Contamination of Seafood in Landing Centers and Retail Markets of Mumbai, India
Prabhakar, P.; Lekshmi, M.; Parvathi, A.; Nayak, B.B.; Kumar, Sanath (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020)Background: Seafood contamination with Salmonella enterica is not only a public health concern, but can also lead to economic losses due to import rejections. Continuous monitoring of seafood for Salmonella is necessary ... -
Survival of the blaNDM-harbouring Escherichia coli in tropical seawater and conjugative transfer of resistance markers
Mukherjee, Susmita; Lekshmi, M.; Parvathi, A.; Nayak, B.B.; Kumar, S.H. (Springer, 2021)Anthropogenic contamination of coastal-marine water is responsible for introducing multidrug-resistant bacteria such as the pNDM-harbouring Escherichia coli into the seafood chain. This study was conducted to understand ...
