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

open access: yes, 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

Novel resistance functions uncovered using functional metagenomic investigations of resistance reservoirs

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2013
Rates of infection with antibiotic-resistant bacteria have increased precipitously over the past several decades, with far-reaching healthcare and societal costs.

Host range of antibiotic resistance genes in wastewater treatment plant influent and effluent [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) collect wastewater from various sources for a multi-step treatment process. By mixing a large variety of bacteria and promoting their proximity, WWTPs constitute potential hotspots for the emergence of antibiotic ...

Intraspecific variation in antibiotic resistance potential within E. coli

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
Intraspecific genomic diversity brings the potential for an unreported and diverse reservoir of cryptic antibiotic resistance genes in pathogens, as cryptic resistance can occur without major mutations and horizontal transmission.

Environmental and Pathogenic Carbapenem Resistant Bacteria Isolated from a Wastewater Treatment Plant Harbour Distinct Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2021
Wastewater treatment plants are important reservoirs and sources for the dissemination of antibiotic resistance into the environment. Here, two different groups of carbapenem resistant bacteria—the potentially environmental and the potentially pathogenic—

Screening of Antibiotic and Virulence Genes from Whole Genome Sequenced Cronobacter sakazakii Isolated from Food and Milk-Producing Environments

open access: yes, 2023
The objective of this study was to use whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to screen for genes encoding for antibiotic resistance, fitness and virulence in Cronobacter sakazakii strains that had been isolated from food and powdered-milk-producing environments.

Detection and characterisation of genes encoding antibiotic resistance in the cultivable oral microflora. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has become a major threat to public health. The increased use of antibiotics has selected for the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes between organisms from different species and different genera ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Horizontal Gene Transfer of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Biofilms

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2023
Most bacteria attach to biotic or abiotic surfaces and are embedded in a complex matrix which is known as biofilm. Biofilm formation is especially worrisome in clinical settings as it hinders the treatment of infections with antibiotics due to the facilitated acquisition of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs).
