Characterization of wild and captive baboon gut microbiota and their antibiotic resistomes [PDF]

, 2018
Antibiotic exposure results in acute and persistent shifts in the composition and function of microbial communities associated with vertebrate hosts.

The Microbial “Resistome” [PDF]

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

Resistome expansion in disease-associated human gut microbiomes

Microbiome, 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.

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

, 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.

The human gut resistome [PDF]

Philosophical 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.

Draft Genome Sequences of Antibiotic-Resistant Commensal Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2014
Antimicrobial resistance is a significant public health issue. We report here the draft genome sequences of three drug-resistant strains of commensal Escherichia coli isolated from a single healthy college student.

Environmental and Anthropogenic Factors Shape the Snow Microbiome and Antibiotic Resistome

Frontiers 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.

The Transferable Resistome of Produce

mBio, 2018
Produce is one of the most popular food commodities. Unfortunately, leafy greens can be a reservoir of transferable antibiotic resistance genes. We found that IncF and IncI plasmids were the most prevalent plasmid types in E. coli isolates from produce. This study highlights the importance of

Destination shapes antibiotic resistance gene acquisitions, abundance increases, and diversity changes in Dutch travelers

Genome Medicine, 2021
Background Antimicrobial-resistant bacteria and their antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes can spread by hitchhiking in human guts. International travel can exacerbate this public health threat when travelers acquire AMR genes endemic to their ...
