Antibiotic resistance and its wider implications present us with a growing healthcare crisis.
Recent research points to the environment as an important component for the transmission …

Over the past decade, a significant increase in the circulation of infectious agents was
observed. With the spread and emergence of epizootics, zoonoses, and epidemics, the risks …

Tackling antibiotic resistance necessitates deep understanding of how resource competition
within and between species modulates the fitness of resistant microbes. Recent advances in …

Environmental heterogeneity constitutes an evolutionary challenge for organisms. While
evolutionary dynamics under variable conditions has been explored for decades, we still …

Antibiotic poly-resistance (multidrug-, extreme-, and pan-drug resistance) is controlled by
adaptive evolution. Darwinian and Lamarckian interpretations of resistance evolution are …

Abstract Earth's Critical Zone sustains terrestrial life and consists of the thin planetary
surface layer between unaltered rock and the atmospheric boundary. Within this zone, flows …

The increase of microbial resistance generates the search for new substances with
antimicrobial potential. The essential oil of Cymbopogon flexuosus (Lemongrass) stands out …

Despite the documented antibiotic-induced disruption of the gut microbiota, the impact of
antibiotic intake on strain-level dynamics, evolution of resistance genes, and factors …

The molecular mechanisms of resistance to fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, an
aminocyclitol, macrolides, a lincosamide, a phenicol, and pleuromutilins were investigated …

Seasonal influenza viruses create a persistent global disease burden by evolving to escape
immunity induced by prior infections and vaccinations. New antigenic variants have a …
