Strains of bacteria resistant to antibiotics, particularly those that are multiresistant, are an
increasing major health care problem around the world. It is now abundantly clear that both …

Antibiotics are powerful drugs used in the treatment of bacterial infections. The inappropriate
use of these medicines has driven the dissemination of antibiotic resistance (AR) in most …

Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the major concerns in clinical
settings impelling a great challenge to antimicrobial therapy for patients with infections …

Antibiotic resistance could accelerate humanity towards an already fast-approaching post-
antibiotic era, where disinfectants and effective biosecurity measures will be critically …

Antibiotics have natural functions, mostly involving cell-to-cell signaling networks. The
anthropogenic production of antibiotics, and its release in the microbiosphere results in a …

We have investigated to what extent natural transformation acting on free DNA substrates
can facilitate transfer of mobile elements including transposons, integrons and/or gene …

Abstract Background Multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa harbours integrons and
other mobile genetic elements such as plasmids and transposons, which easily disseminate …

The first outbreak in Japan of GES-5 carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa
occurred in a long-term care facility in 2014. To assess the spread of GES-5 producing P …

The transfer of antibiotic resistance to pathogenic bacteria is one of the most eminent human
health threats and a concern in water reuse schemes. Anaerobic membrane bioreactors …

The objective of this study was to perform molecular surveillance for assessing the spread of
carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Czech hospitals. One hundred …
