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.

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 ...

Occurrence of Antibiotic Resistance in the Mediterranean Sea
Antibiotics, 2022 Seawater could be considered a reservoir of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes. In this communication, we evaluated the presence of bacterial strains in seawater collected from different coasts of Sicily by combining ...

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 ...

Distribution of antibiotic resistance genes in the environment
Environmental Pollution, 2021 The prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the microbiome is a major public health concern globally. Many habitats in the environment are under threat due to excessive use of antibiotics and evolutionary changes occurring in the resistome.

Evolution and ecology of antibiotic resistance genes [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2007 A new perspective on the topic of antibiotic resistance is beginning to emerge based on a broader evolutionary and ecological understanding rather than from the traditional boundaries of clinical research of antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. Phylogenetic insights into the evolution and diversity of several antibiotic resistance genes suggest ...

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.

Reservoirs of Antibiotic Resistance Genes
Animal Biotechnology, 2006 A potential concern about the use of antibiotics in animal husbundary is that, as antibiotic resistant bacteria move from the farm into the human diet, they may pass antibiotic resistance genes to bacteria that normally reside in a the human intestinal tract and from there to bacteria that cause human disease (reservoir hypothesis).

NCRD: A non-redundant comprehensive database for detecting antibiotic resistance genes
iScience, 2023 Summary: Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are emerging pollutants present in various environments. Identifying ARGs has become a growing concern in recent years.
