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 ...

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 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 ...

Antibiotic Resistance Profile of Indigenous Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus Strains Isolated from Traditional Yogurt

Journal of Food Quality, 2023
Antibiotic resistance signifies a safety hazard to public health. Lactic acid bacteria, particularly, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, are useful organisms responsible for dairy fermentation.

Studying the Association between Antibiotic Resistance Genes and Insertion Sequences in Metagenomes: Challenges and Pitfalls

Antibiotics, 2023
Antibiotic resistance is an issue in many areas of human activity. The mobilization of antibiotic resistance genes within the bacterial community makes it difficult to study and control the phenomenon.

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.

Antibiotic-Resistance Genes in Waste Water [PDF]

Trends in Microbiology, 2018
Waste water and waste water treatment plants can act as reservoirs and environmental suppliers of antibiotic resistance. They have also been proposed to be hotspots for horizontal gene transfer, enabling the spread of antibiotic resistance genes between different bacterial species.
