Ecology of Antibiotic Resistance Genes [PDF]

open access: possible, 2007
This chapter starts with a brief history of the growing public interest in the ecology of resistance genes and then moves on to a survey of some of the conceptual problems that have emerged. It focuses on a few groups of bacteria that are major players in the oral and intestinal ecosystems of humans and animals, the obligate anaerobes.

Ecology and evolution of antibiotic resistance

Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2009
SummaryThe evolution of bacterial pathogens towards antibiotic resistance is not just a relevant problem for human health, but a fascinating example of evolution that can be studied in real time as well. Although most antibiotics are natural compounds produced by environmental microbiota, exposure of bacterial populations to high concentrations of ...

Flow Resistance in Ecological Subdrainage Channel [PDF]

open access: possible, 2019
Ecological subdrainage channel is one of the components in a sustainable urban drainage system whereby stormwater is allowed to infiltrate grass channel drain into the subsurface drainage flow. This simple process results in significant reduction on runoff quantity while at the same time promotes better runoff quality, both of which are beneficial for ...

Organisational resistance to ecological footprinting

International Journal of Management Concepts and Philosophy, 2009
This paper explores organisational resistance to more comprehensive sustainability reporting in the form of ecological footprinting. On the basis of a series of interviews with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Managers in the UK, a number of barriers were identified for ecological footprinting at the organisational level: the cost and resource ...

Antibiotic resistance: an ecological imbalance.

Ciba Foundation symposium, 1997
Antibiotic resistance thwarts the treatment of infectious diseases worldwide. Although a number of factors can be identified which contribute to the problem, clearly the antibiotic as a selective agent and the resistance gene as the vehicle of resistance are the two most important, making up a 'drug resistance equation'.

An Ecology of Resistance

1997
This paper begins an inquiry into the subject of resistance. In diffusion theory and in the related field of organizational development, resistance is overdetermined. In other words, the topic is typically glossed and is too easily identified as an automatic, and by nature negative, response to change: a change that is to be managed.

Direct and ecological costs of resistance to herbivory

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2002
Herbivores can consume significant amounts of plant biomass in many environments. Yet plants are not defenseless against such attack. Although defenses might benefit plants in the presence of herbivores, herbivore attack varies both spatially and temporally, and the expression of plant resistance to herbivores can be costly in the absence of plant ...

Economic and Ecological Values of Resistant Plants

2019
As a sole method, resistant cultivars help keep the population of key pests under check. Resistant cultivars under field conditions can obviate the need for application of insecticides. Resistant cultivars can well combine with natural enemies, cultural practices, mechanical and physical devices/barriers, microbial, insecticides, and molecular and ...
