Genomic Insights into the Mobilome and Resistome of Sentinel Microorganisms Originating from Farms of Two Different Swine Production Systems

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a threat to public health due to long-term antimicrobial use (AMU), which promotes the bacterial acquisition of antimicrobial resistance determinants (ARDs).

Unique Features of Aeromonas Plasmid pAC3 and Expression of the Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance Genes

open access: yesmSphere, 2017
A highly fluoroquinolone-resistant isolate of Aeromonas species was isolated from a wastewater treatment plant and found to possess multiple resistance mechanisms, including mutations in gyrA and parC, efflux pumps, and plasmid-mediated quinolone ...

Bacteriophages limitedly contribute to the antimicrobial resistome of microbial communities in wastewater treatment plants

open access: yesMicrobiology 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 ...

The Microbial “Resistome” [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironmental Science & Technology, 2006
Although human activity has accelerated the spread of antibiotic resistance, the problem has long existed in nature.

Farm dust resistomes and bacterial microbiomes in European poultry and pig farms

open access: yesEnvironment 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.

Proteomics as the final step in the functional metagenomics study of antimicrobial resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
peer-reviewedThe majority of clinically applied antimicrobial agents are derived from natural products generated by soil microorganisms and therefore resistance is likely to be ubiquitous in such environments.

Resistome expansion in disease-associated human gut microbiomes

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2023
Background The resistome, the collection of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in a microbiome, is increasingly recognised as relevant to the development of clinically relevant antibiotic resistance.

The human gut resistome [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2015
In recent decades, the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance among bacterial pathogens has become a major threat to public health. Bacteria can acquire antibiotic resistance genes by the mobilization and transfer of resistance genes from a donor strain.

Environmental and Anthropogenic Factors Shape the Snow Microbiome and Antibiotic Resistome

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Winter tourism can generate environmental pollution and affect microbial ecology in mountain ecosystems. This could stimulate the development of antibiotic resistance in snow and its dissemination through the atmosphere and through snow melting.
