Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Natural Environments
Science, 2008The large majority of antibiotics currently used for treating infections and the antibiotic resistance genes acquired by human pathogens each have an environmental origin. Recent work indicates that the function of these elements in their environmental reservoirs may be very distinct from the “weapon-shield” role they play in clinical settings. Changes

Currently, the use of life-saving antibiotics is growing up rapidly due to its multi-effectiveness for curing bacterial infected diseases. If same antibiotics are frequently consumed, then it kills susceptible bacteria but leaves resistance gene. Thus, some bacteria obtain resistance capacity against some antibiotics called antibiotic resistance ...

Antibiotic resistance genes in water environment
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2009The use of antibiotics may accelerate the development of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and bacteria which shade health risks to humans and animals. The emerging of ARGs in the water environment is becoming an increasing worldwide concern. Hundreds of various ARGs encoding resistance to a broad range of antibiotics have been found in microorganisms

Inactivation of Antibiotics and the Dissemination of Resistance Genes
Science, 1994The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria is a phenomenon of concern to the clinician and the pharmaceutical industry, as it is the major cause of failure in the treatment of infectious diseases. The most common mechanism of resistance in pathogenic bacteria to antibiotics of the aminoglycoside, β-lactam (penicillins and cephalosporins), and ...

Antibiotic resistance genes in the Actinobacteria phylum
European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2019The Actinobacteria phylum is one of the oldest bacterial phyla that have a significant role in medicine and biotechnology. There are a lot of genera in this phylum that are causing various types of infections in humans, animals, and plants. As well as antimicrobial agents that are used in medicine for infections treatment or prevention of infections ...

Screening for Novel Antibiotic Resistance Genes
2010Knowledge of novel antibiotic resistance genes aids in the understanding of how antibiotics function and how bacteria fight them. This knowledge also allows future generations of an antibiotic or antibiotic group to be altered to allow the greatest efficacy. The method described here is very simple in theory.

Predicting the evolution of antibiotic resistance genes
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2004Antibiotic resistance is thought to evolve rapidly in response to antibiotic use. At present, we lack effective tools to assess how rapidly existing resistance genes are likely to evolve to yield resistance to newly introduced drugs. To address this problem, a method has been developed for in vitro evolution experiments to help predict how long it will

Monitoring of Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Agroecosystems
2017Antibiotics are frequently administered by humans for certain therapeutic purposes. Antibiotics are principally used in human medicine and agriculture. Their secondary utilization in animal livestock production at subtherapeutic level is for growth enhancement and improvement of feed competence.

Genes encoding antibiotic-resistant factors may be exogenous or endogenous. Most exogenous genes originate from antibiotic-producing organisms. Bacteria can transfer antibiotic-resistant genes among themselves using gene-exchanging systems, such as plasmids, bacteriophages or integrative and conjugative elements.
