Lack of evidence that DNA in antibiotic preparations is a source of antibiotic resistance genes in bacteria from animal or human sources.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although DNA encoding antibiotic resistance has been discovered in antibiotic preparations, its significance for the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria is unknown. No phylogenetic evidence was obtained for recent horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes from antibiotic-producing organisms to bacteria from human or animal sources.

متن کاملCharacterization of Enterococcus faecalis isolates originating from different sources for their virulence factors and genes, antibiotic resistance patterns, genotypes and biofilm production
In this study, 72 Enterococcus faecalis isolates originating from humans (n=39), dogs (n=26) and cats (n=7) were investigated for some virulence factors, some virulence genes, antibiotic resistance phenotypes, randomly amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) patterns and biofilm production. Of the isolates, 31 (43.1%) were positive for gelatinase, 11 (15.3%) for aggregati...
متن کاملIdentification of virulence genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from human and animal samples by multiplex-PCR and their antibiotic resistance pattern
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of Hospital-acquired infection worldwide. A major problem in the treatment of bacterial infections is the emergence of strains with multiple resistances (MDR). The aim of this study was to identify virulence genes lasB, toxA, algD, exos in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from human and animal by Multiplex-PCR method and determination of anti...
