Exploring Phytochemicals for Combating Antibiotic Resistance in Microbial Pathogens
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 Antibiotic resistance or microbial drug resistance is emerging as a serious threat to human healthcare globally, and the multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains are imposing major hurdles to the progression of drug discovery programs.

Effective elimination of Staphylococcal contamination from hospital surfaces by a bacteriophage-probiotic sanitation strategy: a monocentric study. [PDF]
, 2019 Persistent contamination of hospital surfaces and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are recognized major causes of healthcare-associated infections (HAI). We recently showed that a probiotic-based sanitation (PCHS) can stably decrease surface pathogens and ...

Microbial Persistence and the Road to Drug Resistance [PDF]
Cell Host & Microbe, 2013 Microbial drug persistence is a widespread phenomenon in which a subpopulation of microorganisms is able to survive antimicrobial treatment without acquiring resistance-conferring genetic changes. Microbial persisters can cause recurrent or intractable infections, and, like resistant mutants, they carry an increasing clinical burden.

A reservoir of 'historical' antibiotic resistance genes in remote pristine Antarctic soils [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Soil bacteria naturally produce antibiotics as a competitive mechanism, with a concomitant evolution, and exchange by horizontal gene transfer, of a range of antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

The Impact of Triclosan on the Spread of Antibiotic Resistance in the Environment [PDF]
, 2015 Triclosan (TCS) is a commonly used antimicrobial agent that enters wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and the environment. An estimated 1.1 × 105 to 4.2 × 105 kg of TCS are discharged from these WWTPs per year in the United States.

Advancing Antimicrobial Resistance Research Through Quantitative Modeling and Synthetic Biology
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an emerging global health crisis that is undermining advances in modern medicine and, if unmitigated, threatens to kill 10 million people per year worldwide by 2050.

Transfer of Infectious Drug Resistance in Microbially Defined Mice [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1969 Germ-free mice were intentionally associated with drug-resistant donor strains of Escherichia coli known to carry R factors and with drug-sensitive recipient strains. In vivo transfer of R factors was observed in all experiments, involving five different donor-recipient combinations.
