Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat to human and animal health and well-
being. To understand AMR dynamics, it is important to monitor resistant bacteria and …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to human health worldwide, and the rapid
detection and quantification of resistance, combined with antimicrobial stewardship, are key …

Background Bacterial communities in humans, animals, and the external environment
maintain a large collection of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, few of these …

Background Antibiotic resistance developed by bacteria is a significant threat to global
health. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) spread across different bacterial populations …

The study quantified the abundances of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and facultative
pathogenic bacteria (FPB) as well as one mobile genetic element in genomic DNA via qPCR …

Surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica (NTS),
is essential for monitoring transmission of resistance from the food chain to humans, and for …

Background Environmental and commensal bacteria maintain a diverse and largely
unknown collection of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) that, over time, may be mobilized …

Antibiotic resistance is a growing threat to human health, caused in part by pathogens
accumulating antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) through horizontal gene transfer. New …

There is concern that antibiotics in the environment can select for and enrich bacteria
carrying acquired antibiotic resistance genes, thus increasing the potential of those genes to …

Integrons are bacterial genetic elements that can capture, rearrange, and express mobile
gene cassettes. They are best known for their role in disseminating antibiotic-resistance …
