1. From Penicillin Binding Proteins to Community Interventions : Mathematical and Statistical Models Related to Antibiotic Resistance
Abstract : Antibiotic resistance has become a major public health concern and mathematical models are important analytical tools for the understanding, evaluation and prediction of the resistance problem and related control strategies.The risk of emerging antibiotic resistance and selection has rarely been a concern in the design of antibiotic drug dosing regimens.

2. On the role of penicillin-binding protein SpoVD in endospore cortex assembly
Abstract : Bacteria of the genera Bacillus and Clostridium can form endospores as a strategy to survive unfavourable environmental conditions. Endospore formation involves synthesis of cortex, a thick layer of modified peptidoglycan that surrounds the spore. READ MORE

3. Antibiotic-induced Bacterial Toxin Release – Inhibition by Protein Synthesis Inhibitors
Abstract : Toxic products, such as endotoxin from the gram-negative and exotoxin from the gram-positive bacteria, are the most important initiators of the inflammatory host response in sepsis. In addition to antibacterial treatment, numerous attempts have been made to interfere with the exaggerated proinflammatory cascade initiated by the toxins. READ MORE

4. Mechanisms and Dynamics of Mecillinam Resistance in Escherichia coli
Abstract : The introduction of antibiotics in healthcare is one of the most important medical achievements with regard to reducing human morbidity and mortality. However, bacterial pathogens have acquired antibiotic resistance at an increasing rate, and due to a high prevalence of resistance to some antibiotics they can no longer be used therapeutically.

5. Protein complexes of the Escherichia coli cell envelope
Abstract : The cell envelope of Escherichia coli, as for all living cells, is a magnificent semi-permeable membrane barrier that facilitates protection as well as enables fundamental contact with the exterior world. The envelope comprises a mixture of phospholipids, organized in two bilayers, which are stabilized by a rigid peptidoglycan layer. READ MORE
