Abstract
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are considered one of the major global threats to human and animal health. The most harmful among the resistant bacteria are β-lactamase producing Gram-negative species (β-lactamases). β-lactamases constitute a paradigm shift in the evolution of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, it is imperative to present a comprehensive review of the mechanisms responsible for developing antimicrobial resistance. Resistance due to β-lactamases develops through a variety of mechanisms, and the number of resistant genes are involved that can be transferred between bacteria, mostly via plasmids. Over time, these new molecular-based resistance mechanisms have been progressively disclosed. The present review article provides information on the recent findings regarding the molecular mechanisms of resistance to β-lactams in Gram-negative bacteria, including CTX-M-type ESBLs with methylase activity, plasmids harbouring phages with β-lactam resistance genes, the co-presence of β-lactam resistant genes of unique combinations and the presence of β-lactam and non-β-lactam antibiotic-resistant genes in the same bacteria. Keeping in view, the molecular level resistance development, multifactorial and coordinated measures may be taken to counter the challenge of rapidly increasing β-lactam resistance.

Abstract
Most pathogens enter the body through mucosal surfaces. Therefore, vaccination through the mucosal route can greatly enhance the mucosal immune response. Vaccination via the mucosal surface is the most effective way to trigger a protective mucosal immune response, but the vast majority of vaccines used are administered by injection. Strategies to enhance the mucosal immunity have been developed by using vaccine adjuvants, delivery systems, bacterial or viral vectors, and DNA vaccines. Appropriate vaccine adjuvants and drug delivery systems can improve the immunogenicity of antigens, induce a stronger immune response, and reduce the vaccine dose and production cost. In recent years, many studies have focused on finding safe and effective vaccine adjuvants and drug delivery systems to formulate the mucosal vaccines for solving the above problems. Great progress has also been made in vaccine adjuvants and drug delivery systems based on biodegradable polymer nanoparticles. In this paper, the research progress of the mucosal vaccine and its related adjuvants and drug delivery systems in recent years was reviewed, and the application of polymers as adjuvants and drug delivery system in vaccine was prospected. This review provides a fundamental knowledge for the application of biodegradable polymer nanoparticles as adjuvants and carriers in mucosal vaccines and shows great application prospects.
