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 ...

Impact of amoxicillin-clavulanate followed by autologous fecal microbiota transplantation on fecal microbiome structure and metabolic potential [PDF]

, 2018
The spread of multidrug resistance among pathogenic organisms threatens the efficacy of antimicrobial treatment options. The human gut serves as a reservoir for many drug-resistant organisms and their resistance genes, and perturbation of the gut ...

In-depth resistome analysis by targeted metagenomics [PDF]

Microbiome, 2017
ABSTRACTWe developed ResCap, a targeted sequence capture platform based on SeqCapEZ technology, to analyse resistomes and other genes related to antimicrobial resistance (heavy metals, biocides and plasmids). ResCap includes probes for 8,667 canonical resistance genes (7,963 antibiotic resistance genes and 704 genes conferring resistance to metals or ...

Metagenomics analysis of the neonatal intestinal resistome

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2023
IntroductionThe intestinal microbiome forms a major reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Little is known about the neonatal intestinal resistome.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to investigate the intestinal resistome and factors that influence the abundance of ARGs in a large cohort of neonates.MethodsShotgun metagenomics was used

Social demographics determinants for resistome and microbiome variation of a multiethnic community in Southern Malaysia

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2023
The prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in Southeast Asia is a significant concern, yet there is limited research on the gut resistome and its correlation with lifestyle and environmental factors in the region. This study aimed to profile the gut

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.

Unique wastewater antibiotic resistome [PDF]

Science, 2015
Antibiotic Resistance![Figure][1] Genes that confer antibiotic resistance to microbiota present in wastewater treatment plants, like this treatment lagoon, are specific to that community, suggesting there is little risk that they could be transferred to the human gut microbiome PHOTO: GEORG GERSTER/SCIENCE SOURCE Antibiotic resistance is currently ...

Triclosan: An Instructive Tale [PDF]

, 2016
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently released a final rule to ban triclosan and 18 other antimicrobial chemicals from soaps. We applaud this rule specifically because of the associated risks that triclosan poses to the spread of antibiotic ...

Comprehensive genomic landscape of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus epidermidis

mSystems
Staphylococcus epidermidis, a common commensal bacterium found on human skin, can cause infections in clinical settings, and the presence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) impedes the treatment of S. epidermidis infections.

The Resistome of Farmed Fish Feces Contributes to the Enrichment of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Sediments below Baltic Sea Fish Farms [PDF]

, 2017
Our previous studies showed that particular antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were enriched locally in sediments below fish farms in the Northern Baltic Sea, Finland, even when the selection pressure from antibiotics was negligible.
