Unique and Ingenious Mechanisms Underlying Antimicrobial Resistance and Spread of Haemophilus influenzae.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious global concern. AMR pathogens are found in hospitals and communities. Haemophilus influenzae is a common pathogen associated with community-acquired infections. H. influenzae infections are usually treated with β-lactams, macrolides, and quinolones. However, the drug-resistant strains have emerged. The resistance mechanisms of H. influenzae are complex but are roughly characterized by the acquisition of a mutation in antimicrobial-targeting genes and exogenous resistant genes. Generally, the former cannot be transferred horizontally to a susceptible strain. However, several studies have demonstrated that, in the case of H. influenzae, both the former and the latter can be transferred horizontally. In this review, we provide an overview of the bacterial features and antimicrobial resistance of H. influenzae. We also summarize the unique and ingenious antimicrobial resistance mechanisms used by this pathogen based on the findings of recent studies. These are expected to facilitate the understanding of AMR pathogens in the community and develop strategies to combat infections.
期刊介绍:
Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin (Biol. Pharm. Bull.) began publication in 1978 as the Journal of Pharmacobio-Dynamics. It covers various biological topics in the pharmaceutical and health sciences. A fourth Society journal, the Journal of Health Science, was merged with Biol. Pharm. Bull. in 2012.
The main aim of the Society’s journals is to advance the pharmaceutical sciences with research reports, information exchange, and high-quality discussion. The average review time for articles submitted to the journals is around one month for first decision. The complete texts of all of the Society’s journals can be freely accessed through J-STAGE. The Society’s editorial committee hopes that the content of its journals will be useful to your research, and also invites you to submit your own work to the journals.
