The Association between Insertion Sequences and Antibiotic Resistance Genes

mSphere, 2020
Insertion sequences (ISs) are abundant mobile genetic elements on bacterial genomes, responsible for mobilization of many genes, including antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs).

EQUITABLE ACCESS

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023
The COVID-19 epidemic has once again highlighted the challenges to achieve equitable access to critical antimicrobials and vaccines. The problem is particularly acute for antimicrobials.Despite recent investments improving the pipeline for new treatments,

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

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 ...

Approaching zero : temporal effects of a restrictive antibiotic policy on hospital-acquired Clostridium difficile, extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing coliforms and meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

, 2013
A restrictive antibiotic policy banning routine use of ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin was implemented in a 450-bed district general hospital following an educational campaign.

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 ...

Genome sequences of two clinical Escherichia coli isolates harboring the novel colistin-resistance gene variants mcr-1.26 and mcr-1.27

Gut Pathogens, 2020
Background Colistin is still a widely used antibiotic in veterinary medicine although it is a last-line treatment option for hospitalized patients with infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.

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 ...

Colistin Dependency among Colistin-Heteroresistant Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates

Microorganisms, 2021
Colistin dependent (CD) isolates are dependent on colistin for optimal growth. Here we aimed to systematically determine the emergence of CD among colistin-heteroresistant carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) isolates. We also examined the

Antibiotic-Induced Recruitment of Specific Algae-Associated Microbiome Enhances the Adaptability of Chlorella vulgaris to Antibiotic Stress and Incidence of Antibiotic Resistance

, 2023
Insights into the symbiotic relation between eukaryotic hosts and their microbiome lift the curtain on the crucial roles of microbes in host fitness, behavior, and ecology.
