Human gut microbiome has risen as a critical nexus in the global landscape of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), acting both as a reservoir and a driver of multidrug‐resistant organisms (MDROs). This review explores the mechanistic foundations by which the gut microbiota contributes to resistance development, focusing on the acquisition and spread of ...

Listeria bacteriophage peptidoglycan hydrolases feature high thermoresistance and reveal increased activity after divalent metal cation substitution [PDF]
The ability of the bacteriophage-encoded peptidoglycan hydrolases (endolysins) to destroy Gram-positive bacteria from without makes these enzymes promising antimicrobials.

Lactococcus petauri predominated in isolates from outbreaks of lactococcosis, suggesting a shift in disease aetiology. Genomic analysis revealed diverse virulence factors, prophage and resistance genes, while antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed uniform resistance to common antibiotics found in farming systems, emphasising the need for ...
