Airborne Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria Isolated from a Concentrated Swine Feeding Operation [PDF]
, 2004 The use of nontherapeutic levels of antibiotics in swine production can select for antibiotic resistance in commensal and pathogenic bacteria in swine. As a result, retail pork products, as well as surface and groundwaters contaminated with swine waste ...

A degenerate PCR-based strategy as a means of identifying homologues of aminoglycoside and ß-lactam resistance genes in the gut microbiota [PDF]
, 2014 peer-reviewedBackground: The potential for the human gut microbiota to serve as a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes has been the subject of recent discussion. However, this has yet to be investigated using a rapid PCR-based approach.

Phosphonopeptides Revisited, in an Era of Increasing Antimicrobial Resistance [PDF]
, 2020 Given the increase in resistance to antibacterial agents, there is an urgent need for the development of new agents with novel modes of action. As an interim solution, it is also prudent to reinvestigate old or abandoned antibacterial compounds to assess

Analysis of pathogenic bacteria using exogenous volatile organic compound metabolites and optical sensor detection [PDF]
, 2015 A novel, low-cost and simple method for the detection of pathogenic bacteria is proposed. The approach is based on the generation of an exogenous volatile organic compound (VOC) produced by the addition of an enzyme substrate to the bacterial sample. The
