Environmental hotspots for antibiotic resistance genes [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpen, 2021 Bacterial resistance toward broad‐spectrum antibiotics has become a major concern in recent years. The threat posed by the infectious bacteria and the pace with which resistance determinants are transmitted needs to be deciphered.

Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Antibiotic-Free Chicken Farms [PDF]
Antibiotics, 2020 Rising concern about the use of antibiotics in food production has resulted in many studies on the occurrence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in animal-associated bacterial communities.

Acquired antibiotic resistance genes: an overview. [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011 In this review an overview is given on antibiotic resistance mechanisms with special attentions to the antibiotic resistance genes described so far preceded by a short introduction on the discovery and mode of action of the different classes of ...

Antibiotics, 2021 Antibiotic resistance in bacteria has become a major global health problem. One of the main reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes is the human gut microbiota. To characterise these genes, a metagenomic approach was used.

Antibiotic resistance genes in layer farms and their correlation with environmental samples
Poultry Science, 2021 : Livestock farms are generally considered to be the important source of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). It is important to explore the spread of ARGs to reduce their harm. This study analyzed 13 resistance genes belonging to 7 types in 68 samples of

ARDB--Antibiotic Resistance Genes Database [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2009 The treatment of infections is increasingly compromised by the ability of bacteria to develop resistance to antibiotics through mutations or through the acquisition of resistance genes. Antibiotic resistance genes also have the potential to be used for bio-terror purposes through genetically modified organisms. In order to facilitate the identification

Distribution and quantification of antibiotic resistant genes and bacteria across agricultural and non-agricultural metagenomes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 There is concern that antibiotic resistance can potentially be transferred from animals to humans through the food chain. The relationship between specific antibiotic resistant bacteria and the genes they carry remains to be described.
