Antibiotic-Selected Gene Amplification Heightens Metal Resistance

mBio, 2021
To inhibit bacterial transmission and infection, health care facilities use bactericidal metal coatings to prevent colonization of surfaces and implanted devices. In these environments, antibiotics are commonly used, but their effect on metal resistance is unclear.

Silent Genes: Antimicrobial Resistance and Antibiotic Production

Polish Journal of Microbiology, 2021
Abstract Silent genes are DNA sequences that are generally not expressed or expressed at a very low level. These genes become active as a result of mutation, recombination, or insertion. Silent genes can also be activated in laboratory conditions using pleiotropic, targeted genome-wide, or biosynthetic gene cluster approaches. Like every
