Acquired Antibiotic Resistance Genes: An Overview
In this review an overview is given on antibiotic resistance (AR) mechanisms with special attentions to the AR genes described so far preceded by a short introduction on the discovery and mode of action of the different classes of antibiotics. As this review is only dealing with acquired resistance, attention is also paid to mobile genetic elements such as plasmids, transposons, and integrons, ...
متن کاملErratum: Acquired antibiotic resistance genes: an overview
Dr. Marilyn C. Roberts and Dr. Stefan Schwarz have contacted the authors of the original publication with several comments and suggestions to better harmonize the correct nomenclature of the antibiotic resistance genes, as the gene names were not always correctly presented in the various tables given. Authors often pick their own gene names which in many cases have been approved for use for oth...
متن کاملAntibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance in Agroecosystems: State of the Science.
We propose a simple causal model depicting relationships involved in dissemination of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance in agroecosystems and potential effects on human health, functioning of natural ecosystems, and agricultural productivity. Available evidence for each causal link is briefly summarized, and key knowledge gaps are highlighted. A lack of quantitative estimates of human expos...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance profiles of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates containing virulence genes
Background: A most common opportunistic pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is present in both humans and animals and responsible for various nosocomial infections and healthcare settings related infections. Different virulence genes like; oprL (membrane lipoprotein L) and toxA (exotoxin A i.e. ETA) in P. aeruginosa, assist in its pathogenicity, toxicity and contribute to high antibiotic resistanc...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance: an overview of mechanisms and a paradigm shift
Antibiotic resistance is the biggest challenge to the medical profession in the treatment of infectious diseases. Resistance has been documented not only against antibiotics of natural and semi-synthetic origin, but also against purely synthetic compounds (such as the fluoroquinolones) or those which do not even enter the cells (such as vancomycin). The wide range of occurrence of antibiotic re...
