Antibiotic resistance in European wastewater treatment plants mirrors the pattern of clinical antibiotic resistance prevalence [PDF]

, 2019
Integrated antibiotic resistance (AR) surveillance is one of the objectives of the World Health Organization global action plan on antimicrobial resistance. Urban wastewater treatment plants (UWTPs) are among the most import- ant receptors and sources

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 ...

Towards an ecological approach to antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009
Antibiotics are likely the most important compounds used for human therapy. Conversely, antibiotic resistance is a relevant medical problem. However, besides their relevance for human health, antibiotics and their resistance genes are important elements that can influence the structure of microbial populations.

Comparison of Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms in Antibiotic-Producing and Pathogenic Bacteria

Molecules, 2019
Antibiotic resistance poses a tremendous threat to human health. To overcome this problem, it is essential to know the mechanism of antibiotic resistance in antibiotic-producing and pathogenic bacteria. This paper deals with this problem from four points

Evolution by Pervasive Gene Fusion in Antibiotic Resistance and Antibiotic Synthesizing Genes [PDF]

Computation, 2015
Phylogenetic (tree-based) approaches to understanding evolutionary history are unable to incorporate convergent evolutionary events where two genes merge into one. In this study, as exemplars of what can be achieved when a tree is not assumed a priori, we have analysed the evolutionary histories of polyketide synthase genes and antibiotic resistance ...

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.

Co‐localization of clinically relevant antibiotic‐ and heavy metal resistance genes on plasmids in Klebsiella pneumoniae from marine bivalves

MicrobiologyOpen, 2023
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen frequently associated with antibiotic resistance and present in a wide range of environments, including marine habitats.

Shotgun metagenomics reveal antibiotic resistance genes associated with ESKAPE organisms in a polluted river in Trinidad

Heliyon
Antibiotic-resistant pathogens are often reported in aquatic environments due to pollution from anthropogenic activities. The introduction of untreated wastewater into rivers and streams makes these environments ideal reservoirs for the spread and ...

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.
