The concept of the antibiotic resistome was introduced just over a decade ago, and since
then, active resistome studies have been conducted. In the present study, we describe the …

This review will consider the gut as a reservoir for antimicrobial resistance, colonization
resistance, and how disruption of the microbiome can lead to colonization by pathogenic …

While the description of resistance to quinolones is almost as old as these antimicrobial
agents themselves, transferable mechanisms of quinolone resistance (TMQR) remained …

Wild birds are known to harbor and discharge antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and their
associated antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, assessments of their contribution …

Plastic pollution exacerbated by the excessive use of synthetic plastics and its recalcitrance
has been recognized among the most pressing global threats. Microbial degradation of …

Sulfonamide-degrading bacteria have been discovered in various environments, suggesting
the presence of novel resistance mechanisms via drug inactivation. In this study …

Allogeneous selection occurs when an antibiotic selects for resistance to more advanced
members of the same family. The mechanisms of allogenous selection are (a) collateral …

The development of the intestinal microbiome in the neonate starts, mainly, at birth, when
the infant receives its founding microbial inoculum from the mother. This microbiome …

Increasing rates of bacterial resistance to antibiotics are a growing concern worldwide. The
search for potential new antibiotics has included several natural products such as …

Quinolone resistance has been largely related to the presence of specific point mutations in
chromosomal targets, with an accessory role of impaired uptake and enhanced pump-out …
