Metagenomic Insights Into the Contribution of Phages to Antibiotic Resistance in Water Samples Related to Swine Feedlot Wastewater Treatment

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
In this study, we examined the types of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) possessed by bacteria and bacteriophages in swine feedlot wastewater before and after treatment using a metagenomics approach.

Double-tap gene drive uses iterative genome targeting to help overcome resistance alleles

Nature Communications, 2022
CRISPR gene drives are genetic elements capable of quickly spreading through populations and they offer promising solutions for curbing the spread of vector-borne diseases and controlling crop pest and invasive species populations.

Plasmids and the spread of resistance

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2013
Plasmids represent one of the most difficult challenge for counteracting the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance. They contribute to the spread of relevant resistance determinants, promoting horizontal gene transfer among unrelated bacteria. Undistinguishable plasmids were identified in unrelated bacterial strains isolated at huge geographically ...

Spreading resistance in Salmonella’s sleep [PDF]

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2019
A recent study finds that the re-seeding of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium persister cells into the gut lumen promotes the spread of antibiotic resistance plasmids.

On the Offensive: the Role of Outer Membrane Vesicles in the Successful Dissemination of New Delhi Metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1)

mBio, 2021
Resistance to carbapenems, last-resort antibiotics, is spreading worldwide, raising great concern. NDM-1 is one of the most potent and widely disseminated carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzymes spread among many bacteria and is secreted to the extracellular ...

Practical use of registered veterinary medicinal products in Macedonia in identifying the risk of developing of antimicrobial resistance [PDF]

Macedonian Veterinary Review, 2013
The use of antimicrobial agents is the key risk factor for the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance. It is therefore generally recognized that data on the usage of antimicrobial agents in food-producing animals are essential for identifying

Survey of molecular determinants in Gram-positive cocci isolated from hospital settings in Argentina

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2007
Background: In order to study the resistance mechanisms to aminoglycosides, tetracyclines and erythromycin, we investigated the genetic determinants on 85 Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp., and Enterococcus spp. isolates collected from 46 hospitals

The Pressure Resistance of Odor Traps for Sanitary Appliances and their Impact on the Hygiene of an Indoor Environment

Slovak Journal of Civil Engineering, 2022
The biggest problem with sanitary technology in high-rise buildings is the design of foul water stacks in which high negative pressure and overpressure values must not occur.
