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.

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).

Seasonal variations in antibiotic resistance gene transport in the Almendares River, Havana, Cuba [PDF]
, 2012 Numerous studies have quantified antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) in rivers and streams around the world, and significant relationships have been shown that relate different pollutant outputs and increased local ARG levels.

Antibiotic resistance in the environment, with particular reference to MRSA [PDF]
, 2008 The introduction of β-lactam antibiotics (penicillins and cephalosporins) in the 1940s and 1950s probably represents the most dramatic event in the battle against infection in human medicine.

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

Antimicrobial resistance characteristics and fitness of Gram-negative fecal bacteria from volunteers treated with minocycline or amoxicillin. [PDF]
, 2014 A yearlong study was performed to examine the effect of antibiotic administration on the bacterial gut flora. Gram-negative facultative anaerobic bacteria were recovered from the feces of healthy adult volunteers administered amoxicillin, minocycline or ...

The expression of antibiotic resistance genes in antibiotic‐producing bacteria [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2014 SummaryAntibiotic‐producing bacteria encode antibiotic resistance genes that protect them from the biologically active molecules that they produce. The expression of these genes needs to occur in a timely manner: either in advance of or concomitantly with biosynthesis. It appears that there have been at least two general solutions to this problem.
