Mycolicibacterium fortuitum genomic epidemiology, resistome and virulome [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2021 Mycolicibacterium fortuitum is an opportunistic pathogen associated with human and animal infection worldwide. Studies concerning this species are mainly represented by case reports, some of them addressing drug susceptibility with a focus on a specific geographic region, so there is a gap in relation to the global epidemiological scenario.We aimed ...

Microbiology Spectrum, 2016 ABSTRACT Antibiotic resistance is an ancient biological mechanism in bacteria, although its proliferation in our contemporary world has been amplified through antimicrobial therapy. Recent studies conducted on ancient environmental and human samples have uncovered numerous antibiotic-resistant bacteria and resistance genes.

The intrinsic resistome of bacterial pathogens [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Intrinsically resistant bacteria have emerged as a relevant health problem in the last years. Those bacterial species, several of them with an environmental origin, present naturally low-level susceptibility to several drugs. It has been proposed that intrinsic resistance is mainly the consequence of the impermeability of cellular envelopes, the ...

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Bacteriophages are known as players in the transmission of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) by horizontal gene transfer. In this study, we characterized the bacteriophage community and the associated ARGs to estimate the potential for phages to ...

A reservoir of 'historical' antibiotic resistance genes in remote pristine Antarctic soils [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Soil bacteria naturally produce antibiotics as a competitive mechanism, with a concomitant evolution, and exchange by horizontal gene transfer, of a range of antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

Farm dust resistomes and bacterial microbiomes in European poultry and pig farms
Environment International, 2020 Background: Livestock farms are a reservoir of antimicrobial resistant bacteria from feces. Airborne dust-bound bacteria can spread across the barn and to the outdoor environment.

A review of the resistome within the digestive tract of livestock
Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2021 Antimicrobials have been widely used to prevent and treat infectious diseases and promote growth in food-production animals. However, the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance poses a huge threat to public and animal health, especially in less developed
