  2. Plasmid-mediated resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmid-mediated_resistance

    The antibiotic resistance genes found on the plasmids confer resistance to most of the antibiotic classes used nowadays, for example, beta-lactams, fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides. [ 10 ] It is very common for the resistance genes or entire resistance cassettes to be re-arranged on the same plasmid or be moved to a different plasmid or ...

  3. Resistome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistome

    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. [6]

  4. List of antibiotic-resistant bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_antibiotic...

    The evolution of bacteria on a "Mega-Plate" petri dish A list of antibiotic resistant bacteria is provided below. These bacteria have shown antibiotic resistance (or antimicrobial resistance). Gram positive Clostridioides difficile Clostridioides difficile is a nosocomial pathogen that causes diarrheal disease worldwide. Diarrhea caused by C. difficile can be life-threatening. Infections are ...

  5. Multiple drug resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_drug_resistance

    Antibiotic resistant bacteria are able to transfer copies of DNA that code for a mechanism of resistance to other bacteria even distantly related to them, which then are also able to pass on the resistance genes, resulting in generations of antibiotics resistant bacteria. [11] This initial transfer of DNA is called horizontal gene transfer. [12]

  6. Antimicrobial resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_resistance

    Using antibiotic-free alternatives in bone infection treatment may help decrease the use of antibiotics and thus antimicrobial resistance. [36] The bone regeneration material bioactive glass S53P4 has shown to effectively inhibit the bacterial growth of up to 50 clinically relevant bacteria including MRSA and MRSE. [258] [259] [260]

  7. Gene cassette - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_cassette

    HGT is responsible for much of the spread of antibiotic resistance among bacteria. [10] Gene cassettes containing antibiotic resistance genes, or other virulence factors such as exotoxins, can be transferred from cell to cell via phage, transduction , taken up from the environment, transformation , [ 11 ] or by bacterial conjugation. [ 12 ]

  8. Drug resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_resistance

    Drug, toxin, or chemical resistance is a consequence of evolution and is a response to pressures imposed on any living organism. Individual organisms vary in their sensitivity to the drug used and some with greater fitness may be capable of surviving drug treatment.

  9. Functional cloning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_cloning

    Workflow for utilizing selection in a functional cloning experiment. Here only genes providing ampicillin resistance are selected.. Functional cloning is a molecular cloning technique that relies on prior knowledge of the encoded protein’s sequence or function for gene identification.
