Antibiotic resistance is a global health challenge that could overtake cancer mortality within a few decades. In a new study, ...
Scientists have described antimicrobial resistance as an overlooked pandemic. Improving surveillance can help prevent deadly ...
Antibiotic resistance is a global health threat that could supplant cancer mortality within a few decades. Researchers at ...
A research team has developed a computational tool, Argo, designed to accurately track ARGs in environmental samples, providing insights into their dissemination and associated risks.
Antibiotic resistance genes were typically isolated by cloning from cultured bacteria or by PCR amplification. Those methods missed potential antibiotic resistance reservoirs because of ...
Could a gene regulatory network in gut microbes have evolved its elaborate and tightly regulated molecular machinery only to pump out antibiotics indiscriminately? Researchers show this is an ...
Antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria to resist ... The recent emergence and spread of a plasmid-encoded, transferable colistin resistance gene, mcr-1, is a cause for concern. The mcr-1 ...
In fact, a group of scientists from McMaster University unearthed an antibiotic resistance gene in 30,000-year-old permafrost samples (2). Although humans did not create AMR, we have amplified these ...
Disadvantages of GMO foods can be allergic reactions or increased antibiotic resistance. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are living organisms that have had their genes altered in some way ...
A research team led by Professor Tong Zhang from the Department of Civil Engineering of Faculty of Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) has developed a computational tool, Argo, designed ...
