Transferable Antibiotic Resistance

Transferable antibiotic resistance in clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae in Malaysia.

Further studies on the antibiotic resistance of Shigella sonnei. II. The acquisition of transferable antibiotic resistance in vivo.

Previous studies on the epidemiology of Sonne dysentery in the London area (Davies, 1954; Farrant & Tomlinson, 1966) described the trend towards an increased frequency of strains of Shigella sonnei resistant to sulphonamides and later to streptomycin and tetracycline. It seemed relevant to continue and extend these observations. Recent work on the transfer of antibiotic resistance between organ...

Food and human gut as reservoirs of transferable antibiotic resistance encoding genes

The increase and spread of antibiotic resistance (AR) over the past decade in human pathogens has become a worldwide health concern. Recent genomic and metagenomic studies in humans, animals, in food and in the environment have led to the discovery of a huge reservoir of AR genes called the resistome that could be mobilized and transferred from these sources to human pathogens. AR is a natural ...

Evolution of transferable antibiotic resistance in coliform bacteria from remote environments.

The influence of a mission hospital on the evolution of antibiotic resistance in coliform bacteria from a remote antibiotic-free Xhosa community and environment is described.

Transferable antibiotic resistance plasmids from biogas plant digestates often belong to the IncP-1ε subgroup

Manure is known to contain residues of antibiotics administered to farm animals as well as bacteria carrying antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). These genes are often located on mobile genetic elements. In biogas plants (BGPs), organic substrates such as manure and plant material are mixed and fermented in order to provide energy, and resulting digestates are used for soil fertilization. The fa...
