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.

Unraveling the Diversity of Co-Colonization by CPE
Microorganisms, 2022 Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and more specifically, carbapenem-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) strains, are increasing worldwide. Despite their growing prevalence, in most high-income countries, the detection of CPE is still considered a low-frequency

New antibiotics for antibiotic-resistant bacteria [PDF]
F1000 Biology Reports, 2009 The need for new antibiotics to effectively treat antibiotic-resistant infections remains unfulfilled. Despite the well-publicised concern over this issue, only two novel antibiotic classes have been introduced in the past 20 years alongside several new agents of existing classes.

Wildlife and Antibiotic Resistance
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Antibiotic resistance is a major human health problem. While health care facilities are main contributors to the emergence, evolution and spread of antibiotic resistance, other ecosystems are involved in such dissemination. Wastewater, farm animals and pets have been considered important contributors to the development of antibiotic resistance. Herein,

Managing pollution from antibiotics manufacturing: charting actors, incentives and disincentives
Environmental Health, 2019 Background Emissions of high concentrations of antibiotics from manufacturing sites select for resistant bacteria and may contribute to the emergence of new forms of resistance in pathogens. Many scientists, industry, policy makers and other stakeholders
