The human microbiome is overly exposed to antibiotics, due, not only to their medical use,
but also to their utilization in farm animals and crops. Microbiome composition can be rapidly …

Metagenomic studies have shown that antibiotic resistance genes are ubiquitous in the
environment, which has led to the suggestion that there is a high risk that these genes will …

Antibiotics have been a cornerstone of innovation in the fields of public health, agriculture,
and medicine. However, recent studies have shed new light on the collateral damage they …

Bacterial infections are becoming increasingly difficult to treat due to widespread antibiotic
resistance among pathogens. This review aims to give an overview of the major horizontal …

Microbiome studies have demonstrated the high inter-individual diversity of the gut
microbiota. However, how the initial composition of the microbiome affects the impact of …

In recent decades, the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance among bacterial
pathogens has become a major threat to public health. Bacteria can acquire antibiotic …

Rational use of antibiotic is the key approach to improve the antibiotic performance and
tackling of the antimicrobial resistance. The efficacy of antimicrobials are influenced by many …

Antibiotic resistance is a global public health problem that requires our attention.
Indiscriminate antibiotic use is a major contributor in the introduction of selective pressures …

Over the past thirty years, since the dawn of metagenomic studies, a completely new (micro)
universe was revealed, with the potential to have profound impacts on many aspects of the …

The intestinal microbiota is considered to be a major reservoir of antibiotic resistance
determinants (ARDs) that could potentially be transferred to bacterial pathogens via mobile …
