One way microplastics fuel antibiotic resistance is by acting as “hotspots” for bacteria to interact and exchange genes.

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 ...

Argo overview The global proliferation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) poses a significant threat to the efficacy of ...

Scientists found Escherichia albertii, an emerging foodborne pathogen, in 64% of retail chicken meat in Bangladesh. The study revealed widespread ...

Bacteria, which are susceptible to infection by bacteriophages, often carry multiple genes encoding anti-phage defense ...

Antibiotic resistance genes were typically isolated by cloning from cultured bacteria or by PCR amplification. Those methods missed potential antibiotic resistance reservoirs because of ...

Drug-resistant bacteria are one of the most urgent threats in modern medicine. But scientists are looking to oysters for help ...

In the fight against antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) superbugs, an important weapon may just be hiding in some polluted stream, ...
