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.

Extensive DNA mimicry by the ArdA anti-restriction protein and its role in the spread of antibiotic resistance [PDF]
, 2009 The ardA gene, found in many prokaryotes including important pathogenic species, allows associated mobile genetic elements to evade the ubiquitous Type I DNA restriction systems and thereby assist the spread of resistance genes in bacterial 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 ...

Antibiotic Resistance in Probiotic Microorganisms
Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology, 2023 Probiotics are widely used in different forms of food or food supplements due to their health benefits. Probiotics consumption has seen an increase over the years.

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.
