Development of Antibiotic Resistance in bacteria has become a major public health concern. Bacteria from Clinical and Non Clinical settings have become resistant to several antibiotics. Self-medication, Excessive use of antibiotics and Incomplete antibiotic treatment is the Primary cause of resistance to ...
Microbial resistance to antibiotics can either be intrinsic or acquired. Different mechanisms of microbial resistance to known antibiotics have been proposed. These include antibiotic inactivation, ribosome protection, biofilm formation, target modification, reduced permeability to antimicrobial agents and ...
This paper gives a valuable review of our present knowledge of microbial resistance to antibiotics, with special reference to the mechanisms by which such strains are produced and the extent of the problem clinically. Dr. Lepper discusses the mechanisms under two main headings: ability to by-pass...
This is the first in a series of articles that explore herbs and drug resistance. In Part 1, the authors discuss the general phenomeon of antibiotic resistance and review studies showing that herbs may have a positive effect on microbial resistance to antibiotics. In Part 2, the authors will...

The putative functions of microbiome related to antibiotic resistance and human diseases were significantly higher in fish than in the mariculture environment. This study suggests that mariculture system is a reservoir of ARGs, and the use of antibiotics in mariculture could induce the increase of ...

In this Review, we present the extent of the clinical problem, and the mechanisms underlying the tolerance of biofilms to antibiotics and to host responses. We also explore the role of biofilms in the development of antimicrobial resistance mechanisms. This is a preview of subscription content, ...

Antibiotics removal and ARGs control in microbial fuel cell (MFC) has received extensive attention. In particular, the critical role of bioelectrochemical characteristics deserves further study. Bioelectrochemical characteristics significantly affected sulfamethoxazole (SMX) removal and ARGs fate, in which the...
