1A). These ARGs, represent almost all major classes of antibiotics commonly administered to humans and animals. Fig. 1: Diversity and abundance of soil ARGs and bacterial community members. (A) Boxplots represent the number of ARGs detected in spring, summer, autumn and winter; (B) Relative...
Yet, in recent decades, antibiotic development has been slow, and no new classes of antibiotics have reached the market. Meanwhile, widespread use of the limited number of antibiotics currently available has spurred more bacterial strains to develop resistance, with additional strains already resistant ...
Over one-third of the isolates (37%) were multidrug resistant (MDR) (defined as resistant to three or more classes of antibiotics). These 101 isolates were subjected to short-read DNA sequencing to obtain draft-level genome assemblies adequate for resistance gene identification. After alleles ...
The extensive use of antibiotics in the global livestock industry in recent decades has accelerated the accumulation and dissemination of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) within terrestrial ecosystems. This occurs due to the limited absorption of most
Wastewater treatment plants are regarded as one of the main sources of antibiotics in the environment. In the present study, the concentrations of multiple antibiotics and their metabolites belonging to five antibiotic classes were determined in three major Finnish wastewater treatment plants. An on﹍...
classes and rates of septicemia/sepsis hospitalization, including differences in the effect of prescribing of certain antibiotics vs. others on the rates of septicemia/sepsis. Moreover, those relationships/effects may be context-specific and influenced by various factors such as the use of other ...
Diphtheria—a relatively easily-preventable infection—is evolving to become resistant to a number of classes of antibiotics and in future could lead to vaccine escape, warn an international team of researchers from the UK and India.
Medications were grouped into one of eight classes: antibiotics, anticonvulsants, antidepressants, antiparkinsonian agents, cardiovascular agents, pain medications, steroids, and other. After corrections for multiple comparisons were made, none of these classes of medications was associated with significant ...
However, rapidly increasing resistance towards the third and fourth generation antibiotics is worrisome (Livermore, 1995). Moreover, rapid emergence of resistance demands the development of newer classes of antibiotics and disturbs the global economy as well. Thus, the management of this rapidly ...
