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.

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 ...

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

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023 Although antibiotics are one of the most significant factors contributing to the propagation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), studies on the dose-response relationship at sub-lethal concentrations of antibiotics remain scarce, despite their ...

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.

Fecal pollution can explain antibiotic resistance gene abundances in anthropogenically impacted environments [PDF]
, 2019 Discharge of treated sewage leads to release of antibiotic resistant bacteria, resistance genes and antibiotic residues to the environment. However, it is unclear whether increased abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in sewage and sewage-impacted ...

Environmental Spread of Antibiotic Resistance
, 2021 Antibiotic resistance represents a global health concern. Soil, water, livestock and plant foods are directly or indirectly exposed to antibiotics due to their agricultural use or contamination.

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.
