Antibiotic resistance gene abundances correlate with metal and geochemical conditions in Scottish soils [PDF]

, 2011
The vast majority of antibiotic resistant genes (ARG) acquired by human pathogens have originated from the natural environment. Therefore, understanding factors that influence intrinsic levels of ARG in the environment could be epidemiologically ...

Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.

Antimicrobial resistance characteristics and fitness of Gram-negative fecal bacteria from volunteers treated with minocycline or amoxicillin. [PDF]

, 2014
A yearlong study was performed to examine the effect of antibiotic administration on the bacterial gut flora. Gram-negative facultative anaerobic bacteria were recovered from the feces of healthy adult volunteers administered amoxicillin, minocycline or ...

Cpx-signalling in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis modulates Lipid-A remodelling and resistance to last-resort antimicrobials

npj Antimicrobials and Resistance
Antibiotic resistance is a global healthcare crisis. Bacteria are highly adaptable and can rapidly acquire mechanisms of resistance towards conventional antibiotics.

Mock communities to assess biases in next-generation sequencing of bacterial species representation

Annals of Clinical Microbiology
Background: The 16S rRNA-targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been widely used as the primary tool for microbiome analysis. However, whether the sequenced microbial diversity absolutely represents the original sample composition remains unclear.

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Resistance to antimicrobial agents in bifidobacteria [PDF]

, 2005
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 95-106).For bifidobacteria to survive and achieve colonisation, they have to interact with inhibitory host-produced substances such as bile salts.
