Exploring the ESKAPE maze: Pneumonias, resistance and therapeutic perspectives

The article explores drug-resistant bacteria within the ESKAPE group, commonly associated with nosocomial infections, focusing on the resistance mechanisms of Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The study delves into various β-lactamase enzymes and resistance mechanisms exhibited by ESKAPE bacteria, shedding light on the challenges posed by carbapenem-resistant infections. Notably, the article underscores the ongoing need for research to develop more effective treatments and address the persistent challenges associated with drug resistance in the context of nosocomial infections. The examination of this subset of bacteria aims to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of their resistance mechanisms and provides insights into the difficulties encountered in treating infections with carbapenem-resistant pathogens. The article serves as a valuable resource for clinicians, researchers and policymakers, offering a detailed perspective on the current state of drug resistance among nosocomial pathogens and advocating for continuous research to enhance treatment efficacy in the face of evolving challenges.
