Antibiotic-Selected Gene Amplification Heightens Metal Resistance

mBio, 2021
To inhibit bacterial transmission and infection, health care facilities use bactericidal metal coatings to prevent colonization of surfaces and implanted devices.

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

Co-selection for antibiotic resistance by environmental contaminants

npj Antimicrobials and Resistance
The environment is increasingly recognised as a hotspot for the selection and dissemination of antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes. These can be selected for by antibiotics and non-antibiotic agents (such as metals and biocides),

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.

Resistance decay in individuals after antibiotic exposure in primary care: A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2012
Background Antibiotic resistance is an urgent global problem, but reversibility is poorly understood. We examined the development and decay of bacterial resistance in community patients after antibiotic use.

Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Animal Manure – Consequences of Its Application in Agriculture

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are a relatively new type of pollutant. The rise in antibiotic resistance observed recently is closely correlated with the uncontrolled and widespread use of antibiotics in agriculture and the treatment of humans and ...

Rapid identification of capsulated Acinetobacter baumannii using a density-dependent gradient test

BMC Microbiology, 2020
Background Gram-negative bacterial capsules are associated with production of carbohydrates, frequently resulting in a mucoid phenotype. Infections caused by capsulated or mucoid A. baumannii are associated with increased clinical severity. Therefore, it

Developments in diagnostics and antibiotic resistance of coagulase positive, maltose negative staphylococci from milk of dairy cows [PDF]

, 2019
In South Africa, as is done with routine Veterinary diagnostics worldwide, focus is on a fast turnaround time and relatively low cost. Staphylococci are identified using the coagulase test (Staphylase test, Oxoid). In more recent years, further diagnosis
