Composting temperature directly affects the removal of antibiotic resistance genes and mobile genetic elements in livestock manure.

Environmental Pollution, 2022
The high antibiotic resistance gene (ARGs) contents in livestock manure pose a potential risk to environment and human health. The heap composting with an ambient temperature and thermophilic composting are two methods for converting livestock manure ...

Oxazolidinones: mechanisms of resistance and mobile genetic elements involved.

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2022
The oxazolidinones (linezolid and tedizolid) are last-resort antimicrobial agents used for the treatment of severe infections in humans caused by MDR Gram-positive bacteria.

Enhanced removal of antibiotic resistance genes and mobile genetic elements during swine manure composting inoculated with mature compost.

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2021
Livestock manure is a major source of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) that enter the environment. This study assessed the effects of inoculation with mature compost (MC) on the fates of ARGs and the bacterial community during swine manure composting ...

Staphylococcus aureus mobile genetic elements

Molecular Biology Reports, 2014
Among the bacteria groups, most of them are known to be beneficial to human being whereas only a minority is being recognized as harmful. The pathogenicity of bacteria is due, in part, to their rapid adaptation in the presence of selective pressures exerted by the human host.

Going viral: The role of mobile genetic elements in bacterial immunity.

Cell Host and Microbe
Bacteriophages and other mobile genetic elements (MGEs) pose a significant threat to bacteria, subjecting them to constant attacks. In response, bacteria have evolved a sophisticated immune system that employs diverse defensive strategies and mechanisms.

Co-selection of antibiotic resistance genes, and mobile genetic elements in the presence of heavy metals in poultry farm environments.

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
Environmental selection of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is considered to be caused by antibiotic or metal residues, frequently used in livestock.

Mobile genetic elements in protozoan parasites

Journal of Genetics, 2002
Mobile genetic elements, by virtue of their ability to move to new chromosomal locations, are considered important in shaping the evolutionary course of the genome. They are widespread in the biological kingdom. Among the protozoan parasites several types of transposable elements are encountered.
