As a result of drug resistance, antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents become ineffective and infections become difficult or impossible to treat, increasing the risk of disease spread ...

In addition, antibiotic resistance genes, such as macrolides, tetracyclines, aminoglycosides, among others, were more abundant in pasture soils. The mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer between ...

Our oral and fecal microbiota are distinctly different, both in the organisms present and the resistance mechanisms in those organisms. Antibiotic Resistance in Soil Microbial Communities There ...

However, most antibacterial agents currently in clinical trials and effective do not target novel pathways to circumvent extant antibiotic resistance mechanisms. Moreover, in general, new drug ...

To cover the gap, this comprehensive review explores the complex trends in antibiotic resistance and the growing risk posed by superbugs. We provide context on the concerning spread of drug-resistant ...

Phages use various structures to infect bacterial cells, and bacteria often evolve phage resistance by losing or modifying these structures. We examine a phage that uses two structures that also ...

Antibiotic resistance is a growing threat to human health, as germs like E. coli and staph gain the power to overcome even the most powerful bacteria killers. Unfortunately, the health care we ...
