Superbugs, also known as multidrug-resistant bacteria, are a growing concern as conventional antibiotics become less effective in treating infections. ...
Plasmids are important carriers for the rapid adaptation of microbial populations to environmental changes, and plasmid-mediated gene transfer is critical for the spread of Antibiotic Resistance Genes (ARGs). Plasmids are transmissible between host cells, leading to the rapid dissemination of their accessory ...
Expression vectors inserted with antibiotic resistance genes are mainstream recombinant expression systems that use antibiotics during fermentation to avoid the growth and domination of anaplastic granulocytes. However, antibiotic residues in protein products often cause allergic reactions in the body, while the ...
The company has recently announced the launch of PCR-based microbial antibiotic resistance gene analysis service to help researchers develop new antimicrobial medicines to address the worldwide threat of antibiotic resistance. ...
The study, Impact of probiotic B. infantis EVC001 feeding in premature infants on the gut microbiome, nosocomially acquired antibiotic resistance, and enteric inflammation, is the first to quantify the impact of feeding B. infantis EVC001 on key health indicators specifically in pre-term infants. ...
Now, researchers reporting in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology have shown that when disposed of in this way, municipal solid waste can be an important source of antibiotic-resistance genes in the air. Residual antibiotics from discarded medications and other products can end up in municipal solid waste. Some ...
Many of these bacteria are known to harbor genes related to antibiotic resistance. In fact, a total of 325 antibiotic resistant genes were found in the gut bacteria, with more than half (54 percent) of those genes being those that confer bacterial resistance to ...
