Screening for Novel Antibiotic Resistance Genes

2010
Knowledge 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.

Treatment Technologies for Removal of Antibiotics, Antibiotic Resistance Bacteria and Antibiotic-Resistant Genes

2020
This chapter describes current knowledge on the selected eco-friendly strategies for the treatment of main sources (manure and wastewater) of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and antibiotic resistance bacteria (ARB), including bacteria pathogenic for humans and animals, also those mentioned on the WHO list of antibiotic-resistant ...

Predicting the evolution of antibiotic resistance genes

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2004
Antibiotic 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

Inactivation of Antibiotics and the Dissemination of Resistance Genes

Science, 1994
The 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, 2019
The 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 ...

Monitoring of Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Agroecosystems

2017
Antibiotics 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.

Ultraviolet Disinfection of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria and Their Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Water and Wastewater

Environmental Science & Technology, 2012
Disinfection of wastewater treatment plant effluent may be an important barrier for limiting the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARBs) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). While ideally disinfection should destroy ARGs, to prevent horizontal gene transfer to downstream bacteria, little is known about the effect of conventional water ...

[Antibiotic resistant genes].

Rinsho byori. The Japanese journal of clinical pathology, 2014
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.

Ecology of Antibiotic Resistance Genes

2007
This chapter starts with a brief history of the growing public interest in the ecology of resistance genes and then moves on to a survey of some of the conceptual problems that have emerged. It focuses on a few groups of bacteria that are major players in the oral and intestinal ecosystems of humans and animals, the obligate anaerobes.
