Isolation and characterization of two homolog phages infecting Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Bacteriophages (phages) are capable of infecting specific bacteria, and therefore can be used as a biological control agent to control bacteria-induced animal, plant, and human diseases. In this study, two homolog phages (named PPAY and PPAT) that infect

High-sugar, high-fat, and high-protein diets promote antibiotic resistance gene spreading in the mouse intestinal microbiota

Gut Microbes, 2022
Diet can not only provide nutrition for intestinal microbiota, it can also remodel them. However, is unclear whether and how diet affects the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the intestinal microbiota.

Simulated Gastric Acid Promotes the Horizontal Transfer of Multidrug Resistance Genes across Bacteria in the Gastrointestinal Tract at Elevated pH Levels

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
The assessment of factors that can promote the transmission of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) across bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract is in great demand to understand the occurrence of infections related to antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB ...

Antibiotic resistance genes in gut of breast-fed neonates born by caesarean section originate from breast milk and hospital ward air

BMC Microbiology, 2022
The human gut is a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Even in the absence of antibiotics, ARGs are present in large quantities in faeces of adults, children and even newborns.

The Quantification of Operational Risk [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2003
This paper develops a framework for the quantification of operational risk based on a network with functional dependencies that represent work flows for business activities. The functioning of each node depends on stochastic risk factors driven by inputs such as human resources, data and inputs from other nodes.

Exogenous antibiotic resistance gene contributes to intestinal inflammation by modulating the gut microbiome and inflammatory cytokine responses in mouse

Gut Microbes, 2023
Dysregulation of the gut microbiota by environmental factors is associated with a variety of autoimmune and immune-mediated diseases. In addition, naturally-occurring extracellular antibiotic resistance genes (eARGs) might directly enter the gut via the ...

A universal CRISPR-Cas14a responsive triple-sensitized upconversion photoelectrochemical sensor

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2023
It has recently been discovered that, like other members of the Cas family (12a and 13a), the clustered regularly interspaced short palindrome repeat CRISPR-Cas14a system not only mediates high-sensitivity detection with exceptionally strong gene editing
