Journal of Research in Pharmacy, 2023 Antibiotics are medicines used to prevent and treat bacterial infections. Antibiotic resistance occurs when the response of bacteria to medicines. Unfortunately nowadays the emergence of resistance among bacterial pathogens is a major public worldwide health problem.

Cell, 2018 Bacterial mechanisms of drug resistance operate at sequential lines of defense tackling drug at entry, accumulation, target binding, or downstream toxicity. These mechanisms are encoded by genomic changes ranging in scale from point mutations, through assembly of preexisting genetic elements, to horizontal import of genes from the environment.

Antibiotic Resistance of Bacteria [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2015 Antibiotic resistance of bacteria and other microorganisms is one of the most serious and grievous challenges of the twenty-first century. The life-saving drugs, which held a great deal of promises during the 1940s to eradicate all the infectious life-threatening diseases in the world, have ceased to work, because of the increasing emergence of ...

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 ...

Discovery of the fourth mobile sulfonamide resistance gene
Microbiome, 2017 Background Over the past 75 years, human pathogens have acquired antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), often from environmental bacteria. Integrons play a major role in the acquisition of antibiotic resistance genes.
