Antibiotic resistance gene abundances correlate with metal and geochemical conditions in Scottish soils [PDF]

, 2011
The vast majority of antibiotic resistant genes (ARG) acquired by human pathogens have originated from the natural environment. Therefore, understanding factors that influence intrinsic levels of ARG in the environment could be epidemiologically ...

Gut microbiota alterations in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer undergoing chemoradiotherapy. [PDF]

Mol Oncol
We investigated the impact of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) on the gut microbiota in patients with locally advanced non‐small‐cell lung cancer. Overall gut microbiota composition remained largely stable throughout CRT while antibiotic exposure may influence microbial diversity.

Pharmacogenomics of Antibiotics [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Although the introduction of antibiotics in medicine has resulted in one of the most successful events and in a major breakthrough to reduce morbidity and mortality caused by infectious disease, response to these agents is not always predictable, leading to differences in their efficacy, and sometimes to the occurrence of adverse effects.

Antibiotics [PDF]

Annual Review of Microbiology, 1953
Summary Reasons for prescribing antibiotics by official names are that the doctor is more likely to understand what he is prescribing, that it enables the literature to be internationally understood, and that non-branded products are less costly.

Sewage effluent from an Indian hospital harbors novel carbapenemases and integron-borne antibiotic resistance genes

Microbiome, 2019
Background Hospital wastewaters contain fecal material from a large number of individuals, of which many are undergoing antibiotic therapy. It is, thus, plausible that hospital wastewaters could provide opportunities to find novel carbapenemases and ...

Multiplex lateral flow immunochromatographic assay is an effective method to detect carbapenemases without risk of OXA-48-like cross reactivity

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2021
Background It is essential to detect carriers of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales in order to implement infection control measures. The objectives of this study was to evaluate the NG-Test® CARBA 5 (CARBA 5) assay for detection of five ...

Comparative Analysis of Genetic Determinants Encoding Cadmium, Arsenic, and Benzalkonium Chloride Resistance in Listeria monocytogenes of Human, Food, and Environmental Origin

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Environmental adaptation of Listeria monocytogenes is a complex process involving various mechanisms that can contribute to their survival in the environment, further spreading throughout the food chain and the development of listeriosis. The aim of this
