Genes responsible for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) can spread from microbe to microbe through circular genetic material called plasmids, and this lateral transfer occurs in the gut.

These include, but are certainly not limited to, those mentioned below. HGT can be promoted by several factors, understanding these is vital to preventing the spread of AMR genes and improving our ...

Stanford University researchers report that ciprofloxacin use drives persistent antibiotic resistance in human gut bacteria, ...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) (the ability for microbes to acquire resistance genes against the drugs used to control them, including antibiotics) is a threat to global public health, animal health ...

A major new study has revealed that the genes we inherit at birth play a much larger role in cancer than previously ...

It will map the genomes and epigenomes of the participating cities and the genetic information gathered will then be used to characterise and track AMR genes and to discover new biosynthetic gene ...
