The results single out humans as the potential hub for antibiotic resistance gene spread. “We found that nearly 85% of the resistance genes in external habitats overlapped with those in humans,” he said, adding that, “the human resistome broadly represents the global resistome and may be the...
Moreover, antibiotic resistance has profound consequences on global health such as in: (i) difficult-to-treat infections; (ii) increased morbidity and mortality; (iii) hospital-associated infections; (iv) animal health impact; and (v) environmental and food safety impact. CDC listed four threats...

Thus, there is a need to develop a better method to identify and prevent the spread of antimicrobial resistance. This work presents a novel method for detecting and identifying antibiotic-resistant strains by combining a cell sorter for bacterial detection and an elastic-light-scattering method for...
The resistance that infectious microbes have to antibiotics makes it difficult for physicians to confidently select the right drug to treat an infection. And that resistance is dynamic: It changes from year to year and varies across a region.
Reference genomes were phylogenetically diverse and fell into 3 categories: (i) isolates from clinical infections, (ii) AR isolates from the CDC with known antibiotic resistance, and (iii) environmental isolates that had been collected from water and waste projects. The isolates we collected from ...
resistance elements and the rest of the genome. An example is given by the pneumococcusS.pneumoniae. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has rated the threat level of drug-resistant pneumococcus as “serious”4. While resistance arises in pneumococci through a variety of ...

Microbiota-based therapeutics reduce resistance gene abundance and resistant organisms in the recipient gut microbiome. This approach could potentially reduce the risk of infections caused by resistant organisms within the patient and the transfer of resistance genes or pathogens to others. ...
