Antibiotic Resistant Genes in Natural Environment
In early times, scientists considered antibiotic resistance in terms of adaptation to the toxic agents. For instance, Ehrlich worked on development of p-rosaniline resistance to Trypanosoma brucei as early as 1904. The resistance was observed during the treatment of trypanosome infections as the organisms emerged that were resistant to p-rosaniline. The drug inactivation was also discovered ear...
متن کاملPrevalence of antibiotic resistant genes in selected activated sludge processes in Isfahan Province, Iran
Wastewater treatment plants are one of the main sources of dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) into the environment. The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence and removal of ARGs in different wastewater treatment processes. A total of 36 samples from raw and final effluent of different activated sludge processes were collected and analyzed. Molecular analysis w...
متن کاملReply to “The Natural Environment May Be the Most Important Source of Antibiotic Resistance Genes”
O’Toole is absolutely right that most antibiotic genes probably evolved in the environment long ago (1), but the letter ignores the principle of selection, which is an essential component of Darwinian evolution. Antibiotic use in agriculture has been shown repeatedly to contribute to antibiotic resistance among human pathogens and commensals. We do not expect that any microbiologist would argue...
متن کاملThe Natural Environment May Be the Most Important Source of Antibiotic Resistance Genes
I found the recent paper by Wichmann et al. (1) of great interest, and it illustrates an aspect of antibiotic resistance that has concerned me for a long time, namely, the origin of that resistance. The authors approach the problem from the point of view of misuse of antibiotics in animal food production systems. For years, attempts have been made to make that connection, with a view to restric...
متن کاملBacteriophages as Vehicles for Antibiotic Resistance Genes in the Environment
Antibiotic therapy represents one of the most important medical advances of the 20th century and is a valuable resource in combating infectious diseases. Its therapeutic use, however, has been associated with the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. There are many naturally occurring ways in which susceptible bacteria become resistant to antibiotics, including by chromosomal mutations an...
