Agricultural use of antibiotics is recognized by the US Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention as a major contributor to antibiotic-resistant infections. While most One Health …

By characterizing the trajectories of antibiotic resistance gene transfer in bacterial
communities such as the gut microbiome, we will better understand the factors that influence …

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) pose a
serious risk to human and veterinary health. While many studies focus on the movement of …

Food-producing animals are indicated as a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes and a
potential vector for transmission of plasmid-encoded antibiotic resistance genes by …

Dissemination of antibiotic resistance (AR) genes, often on plasmids, leads to antibiotic-
resistant bacterial infections, which is a major problem for animal and public health …

The human microbiota is suggested to be a reservoir of antibiotic resistance (ABR) genes,
which are exchangeable between transient colonizers and residing bacteria. In this study …

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and bifidobacteria may serve as reservoirs of antimicrobial
resistance, but the risk posed by strains intentionally introduced into the agro-food chain has …

Over the last few decades, organic food demand has grown largely because of increasing
personal health concerns. Organic farming introduces antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) …

The prevalence and propagation of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are serious global public
health concerns. The large and the ever-increasing use of antibiotics in livestock is also …

Three wild-type dairy isolates of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and one Lactococcus lactis control
strain were analyzed for their ability to transfer antibiotic resistance determinants (plasmid or …
