Mcr colistin resistance gene: a systematic review of current diagnostics and detection methods

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, 2019
Resistance to colistin, mediated by chromosomal mutations and more recently, by plasmid‐borne mcr genes, is increasingly being reported in bacterial isolates taken from humans, animals, farms, foods, and the environment.

High prevalence of blaCTX‐M‐15 type extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamases in Gambian hooded vultures (Necrosyrtes monachus): A threatened species with substantial human interaction

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 12, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
In this study, we found that hooded vulture has a high prevalence of ESBL‐producing bacteria. Based on these data, hooded vultures as top predators may function as a bioindicator for the presence of antibiotic‐resistant bacteria (ARB). Furthermore, this study highlights how vultures are exposed to anthropogenic impact, not only posing a threat to the ...

Antibiotic concentrations in raw hospital wastewater surpass minimal selective and minimum inhibitory concentrations of resistant Acinetobacter baylyi strains

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 24, Issue 12, Page 5721-5733, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Antibiotics are essential for modern medicine, they are employed frequently in hospitals and, therefore, present in hospital wastewater. Even in concentrations, that are lower than the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of susceptible bacteria, antibiotics may exert an influence and select resistant bacteria, if they exceed the MSCs ...
