Abstract Development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria is one of the major issues in the
present world and one of the greatest threats faced by mankind. Resistance is spread …

Exploitation of plant growth promoting (PGP) rhizobacteria (PGPR) as crop inoculants could
propel sustainable intensification of agriculture to feed our rapidly growing population …

Despite efforts to develop new antibiotics, antibacterial resistance still develops too fast for
drug discovery to keep pace. Often, resistance against a new drug develops even before it …

The large-scale application of xenobiotics adversely affects the environment. The genes that
are present in the chromosome of the bacteria are considered nonmobile, whereas the …

This review summarizes the mechanisms of antibacterial action of green tea catechins,
discussing the structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies for each mechanism. The …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) can be transferred from environmental microbes to
human pathogens, thus leading to bacterial infection treatment failures. The aquaculture …

The emergence of nanotechnology has created unprecedented hopes for addressing
several unmet industrial and clinical issues, including the growing threat so‐termed …

Conjugation has classically been considered the main mechanism driving plasmid transfer
in nature. Yet bacteria frequently carry so-called non-transmissible plasmids, raising …

Evolutionary medicine–ie the application of insights from evolution and ecology–has
tremendous untapped potential to spark transformational innovation in biomedicine and …

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the biggest threats to global health as current antibiotics
are becoming useless against resistant infectious pathogens. Consequently, new …
