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 ...

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.

Restrictive antibiotic stewardship associated with reduced hospital mortality in gram-negative infection [PDF]

, 2017
Introduction: Antimicrobial stewardship has an important role in the control of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and antibiotic resistance. An important component of UK stewardship interventions is the restriction of broad-spectrum beta-lactam ...

Exploring Phytochemicals for Combating Antibiotic Resistance in Microbial Pathogens

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Antibiotic resistance or microbial drug resistance is emerging as a serious threat to human healthcare globally, and the multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains are imposing major hurdles to the progression of drug discovery programs.

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

Active surveillance for carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) carriage

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) poses a significant threat in healthcare settings, necessitating robust infection control measures. To identify the most effective sampling method for CRAB carriage detection, we conducted a comparative

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.

Antibiotic Resistance

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.

Vaccines in the fight against antimicrobial resistance – from evidence to policy - perspectives from South Africa

International Journal of Infectious Diseases
Introduction: The rising prevalence of drug-resistant infections presents a challenge to modern medicine by limiting life-saving therapeutic options, especially for those who cannot afford more expensive second-and third-line antibiotics, and ...
