Antimicrobial Chemicals Are Associated with Elevated Antibiotic Resistance Genes in the Indoor Dust Microbiome
Antibiotic resistance is increasingly widespread, largely due to human influence. Here, we explore the relationship between antibiotic resistance genes and the antimicrobial chemicals triclosan, triclocarban, and methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-, and butylparaben in the dust microbiome. Dust samples from a mixed-use athletic and educational facility were subjected to microbial and chemical analyses usi...
متن کاملIntegron attI1 Sites, Not Riboswitches, Associate with Antibiotic Resistance Genes
In a recent publication in Cell (Jia et al., 2013), the authors conclude from bioinformatics, genetic, and biochemical analyses that a conserved sequence element associated with antibiotic resistance genes represents a novel widespread riboswitch class for certain aminoglycosides. Below, we point out previously reported functions for this element that were not discussed by the authors, and we n...
متن کاملNew edge of antibiotic development: antimicrobial peptides and corresponding resistance
In the last years severe efforts turned into extensive research on development of novel antimicrobial compounds. Among them, antimicrobial peptides, commonly isolated from several organisms, have been considered part of innate immune system and also as potential antimicrobial drugs. AMPs have variable amino acid composition and size (ranging from less than 5–100 amino acid residues), commonly s...
متن کاملPolish Physicians' Attitudes Towards Antibiotic Prescription and Antimicrobial Resistance.
Antimicrobial resistance has been one of the biggest global current issues in medicine and public health. Overuse and imprudent use of antimicrobial agents are recognized as one of the leading causes of antibiotic resistance. The aim of this study was to analyze the attitudes of Polish physicians practicing at the community level towards antibiotics and antimicrobial resistance. The majority of...
متن کاملCoping with antibiotic resistance: combining nanoparticles with antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents.
The worldwide escalation of bacterial resistance to conventional medical antibiotics is a serious concern for modern medicine. High prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacteria among bacteria-based infections decreases effectiveness of current treatments and causes thousands of deaths. New improvements in present methods and novel strategies are urgently needed to cope with this problem. Owing to...
