Adult plant resistance (APR) is a specialist term referring to quantitative resistance that is not effective in the seedling stage but is effective throughout many remaining plant growth stages. [ 43 ] [ 44 ] [ 42 ] The difference between adult plant resistance and seedling resistance is especially important in annual crops . [ 45 ]
In the sewage treatment plant itself, there were enterococcae resistant to all known antibiotics. The development of resistant bacteria in sewage treatment plants is stimulated by high concentration of antibiotics (e.g. in plant sewage), large amounts of bacteria (e.g. from human sewage water that is added in plant sewage), and selection of ...
Hypersensitive response (HR) is a mechanism used by plants to prevent the spread of infection by microbial pathogens.HR is characterized by the rapid death of cells in the local region surrounding an infection and it serves to restrict the growth and spread of pathogens to other parts of the plant.
Pestalone is an antibiotic created from the marine fungus: Pestalotia sp. [25] [31] M. Cueto et al. (2001–11) found that it has antibiotic activity against two bacteria species that have gained resistance to antibiotics: vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Over the past decade, the study of induced system resistance has become a very active field of research. [12] Methods to artificially activate the ISR pathway is an active area of research. [13] The research and application of inducing plant system resistance have been encouraging but are not yet a major factor in controlling plant pathogens.
Antibiotic resistance—when bacteria change so antibiotics no longer work in people who need them to treat infections—is now a major threat to public health." [16] Each year, nearly 5 million deaths are associated with AMR globally. [7] In 2019, global deaths attributable to AMR numbered 1.27 million in 2019.
These environmental resistomes function as an antibiotic resistance gene. [9] There are many questions and research that needs to be further done to find out if these environmental resistomes play a big role in the antibiotic resistance that is occurring in humans, animals, and plants. [9]
The resistome was first used to describe the resistance capabilities of bacteria preventing the effectiveness of antibiotics . [4] [5] Although antibiotics and their accompanying antibiotic resistant genes come from natural habitats, before next-generation sequencing, most studies of antibiotic resistance had been confined to the laboratory.
