Avian Antibodies (IgY) to Fight Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotics are today found ubiquitous in our environment in constantly growing amounts. Antibiotics are given to animals as “growth factors”-especially to piglets, calves and chickens-to avoid weaning diarrhoea and to promote growth [1]. It is forbidden in Europe since 2006 and also in some states in USA. But they are still used widely in other countries. Antibiotics are distributed everywhere...
متن کاملPediatric Fecal Microbiota Harbor Diverse and Novel Antibiotic Resistance Genes
Emerging antibiotic resistance threatens human health. Gut microbes are an epidemiologically important reservoir of resistance genes (resistome), yet prior studies indicate that the true diversity of gut-associated resistomes has been underestimated. To deeply characterize the pediatric gut-associated resistome, we created metagenomic recombinant libraries in an Escherichia coli host using feca...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com resistance to vancomycin portend a chemotherapeutic era in which effectual bactericidal antibiotics against this organism may no longer be available [4]. The irony of this trend toward progressively more resistant bacteria is that it coincides with a period of increased understanding of the molecular mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance. Unfortuna...
متن کاملAntibiotics and antibiotic resistance: a bitter fight against evolution.
One of the most terrible consequences of Darwinian evolution is arguably the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance, which is becoming a serious menace to modern societies. While spontaneous mutation, recombination and horizontal gene transfer are recognized as the main causes of this notorious phenomenon; recent research has raised awareness that sub-lethal concentrations of antibiotics...
متن کاملThe use of platensimycin and platencin to fight antibiotic resistance
Infectious diseases are known as one of the most life-threatening disabilities worldwide. Approximately 13 million deaths related to infectious diseases are reported each year. The only way to combat infectious diseases is by chemotherapy using antimicrobial agents and antibiotics. However, due to uncontrolled and unnecessary use of antibiotics in particular, surviving bacteria have evolved res...
