Cooperative antibiotic resistance facilitates horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2023 Abstract The rise of β-lactam resistance among pathogenic bacteria, due to the horizontal transfer of plasmid-encoded β-lactamases, is a current global health crisis. Importantly, β-lactam hydrolyzation by β-lactamases, not only protects the producing cells but also sensitive neighboring cells cooperatively.

Genomic Sequence Analysis of Methicillin- and Carbapenem-Resistant Bacteria Isolated from Raw Sewage
Microbiology Spectrum, 2021 Antibiotic resistance is one of the largest threats facing global health. Wastewater treatment plants are well-known hot spots for interaction between diverse bacteria, genetic exchange, and antibiotic resistance. Nonpathogenic bacteria theoretically act

Draft Genome Sequences of Pandrug-Resistant Serratia marcescens Clinical Isolates Harboring bla NDM-1 [PDF]
, 2017 The draft genome sequences of two clonal, pandrug-resistant Serratia marcescens clinical isolates were determined. The resistance phenotype was plasmid driven, as 14 of 17 resistance genes were present on large IncFIB(K), IncHI2, and IncA/C2 plasmids ...

Exposure of ciprofloxacin-resistant Escherichia coli broiler isolates to subinhibitory concentrations of a quaternary ammonium compound does not increase antibiotic resistance gene transfer [PDF]
, 2019 Resistance to antibiotics threatens to become a worldwide health problem. An important attributing phenomenon in this context is that pathogens can acquire antibiotic resistance genes through conjugative transfer of plasmids.

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).

Dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes from antibiotic producers to pathogens [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 AbstractIt has been hypothesized that some antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) found in pathogenic bacteria derive from antibiotic-producing actinobacteria. Here we provide bioinformatic and experimental evidence supporting this hypothesis.
