Aquatic ecosystems subjected to anthropogenic pressures are places of rapid evolution of
microbial communities and likely hotspots for selection and emergence of antibiotic resistant …

The increasing drug resistance of bacteria to commonly used antibiotics creates the need to
search for and develop alternative forms of treatment. Phage therapy fits this trend perfectly …

The world is on the cusp of a post-antibiotic era, but researchers and medical doctors have
found a way forward—by looking back at how infections were treated before the advent of …

Background Antibiotic resistance developed by bacteria is a significant threat to global
health. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) spread across different bacterial populations …

The growth of antibiotic resistance has stimulated interest in understanding the mechanisms
by which antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) are mobilized. Among them, studies analyzing …

Shiga toxins (Stx) of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are generally encoded
in the genome of lambdoid bacteriophages, which spend the most time of their life cycle …

In addition to specific antibiotic resistance, the formation of bacterial biofilm causes another
level of complications in attempts to eradicate pathogenic or harmful bacteria, including …

Wastewater is a breeding ground for many pathogens, which may pose a threat to human
health through various water transmission pathways. Therefore, a simple and effective …

Antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) are a major health risk caused particularly by
anthropogenic activities. Acquisition of antibiotic resistances by bacteria is known to have …

Antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) and virulence factor genes (VFGs) constitute a
serious threat to public health, and climate change has been predicted to affect the increase …
