Antimicrobial resistance and bacterial density
Veterinary Record, 2014‘ONE Health’ requires ‘one language’ (Ismail 2012), and this applies to antimicrobial resistance, where there is progress on standardising procedures (eg, European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing [EUCAST]). However, most methods measure resistance at the isolate-level and, often, only a single isolate per sample is tested.

Molecular Genetics, Microbiology and Virology (Russian)
Genetic control of different pathways of drug-resistance formation in bacteria is presented. Possible molecular mechanisms of “new” genes integration into the genomes by horizontal gene transfer are discussed. This review may be valuable for physicians, veterinarians and scientific researches engaged in bacterial evolution.

Bacterial resistance to the cyclic glycopeptides
Trends in Microbiology, 1994Cyclic-glycopeptide antibiotics, such as vancomycin and teicoplanin, have been almost uniformly active against pathogenic Gram-positive bacteria since their discovery in the 1950s. Resistance is now emerging among enterococci and staphylococci by acquisition of novel genes or by mutation, respectively.

Combating bacterial resistance in otorhinolaryngology
Clinical Otolaryngology and Allied Sciences, 2002Bacterial resistance appears to be an ever-increasing problem and is threatening to spiral out of control. The scare caused by the rapid spread of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus among hospitals in the UK is the most recent. Otorhinolaryngology is deeply involved in this problem, as one of the reasons often cited for increasing bacterial ...

Bacterial resistances to mercury and copper
Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, 1991AbstractHeavy metals are toxic to living organisms. Some have no known beneficial biological function, while others have essential roles in physiological reactions. Mechanisms which deal with heavy metal stress must protect against the deleterious effects of heavy metals, yet avoid depleting the cell of a heavy metal which is also an essential nutrient.

Bacterial Copper Resistance and Virulence
2015Copper is essential for most organisms. However, it is also toxic even at low levels, especially when its local concentration or intracellular distribution is not properly controlled. Similar to other organisms, bacteria have evolved specific copper homeostasis systems for maintaining a suitable intracellular concentration of this essential metal and ...

Overview of mechanisms of bacterial resistance
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1989Many antimicrobial agents have been either found in nature or synthesized in the past 45 years. Antibacterial agents inhibit cell-wall formation, disrupt cytoplasmic membrane function, prevent DNA synthesis, interfere with protein synthesis, and halt folate synthesis.

Detoxification confers bacterial resistance
Trends in Plant Science, 2000Transgenic sugarcane plants have been generated that express an albicidin detoxifying gene (albD) cloned from a bacterium that provides biocontrol against leaf scald disease. Plants with an albicidin detoxification capacity show resistance to both disease symptoms and multiplication of the toxigenic pathogen. Nat. Biotechnol. (1999) 17, 1021–1024.
