Environmental factors influencing the development and spread of antibiotic resistance (2017, neutral): “Resistance mechanisms associated with efflux pumps and cell wall modifications are often caused by mutations in chromosomal DNA, although many efflux pumps are transferrable be-tween bacteria on plasmids.”
Antibiotic resistance: a rundown of a global crisis (2018, background): “For that reason, antibiotic resistance may simply depict the Darwinian competition from natural microbial-derived antimicrobial elements.(29,30) The functional meta-genomic analysis of soil microbes has revealed an extensive diversity in genetic determinants associated with antibiotic resistance.”
Metagenomic analysis reveals wastewater treatment plants as hotspots of antibiotic resistance genes and mobile genetic elements. (2017, background): “…results in the continuous release of antibiotics into the environment and 31 subsequently the widespread occurrence of antibiotic resistance in both natural and engineered 32 ecosystems (Alonso et al., 2001; Larson, 2007; Aminov, 2009; Taylor et al., 2011; Udikovic-Kolic et 33 al., 2014).”
A Review on Recent Advancements of Graphene and Graphene-Related Materials in Biological Applications (2021, background): “Furthermore, the development of new antimicrobial agents has become a primary interest to contrast the increase of antibiotic resistance in the bacterial world [33].”
Detection and fate of antibiotic resistant bacteria in wastewater treatment plants: a review. (2013, background): “This broadness of applications has caused an increase in the consumption of antibiotics (Wright, 2007; Aminov, 2009).”
Dissemination of Antimicrobial Resistance in Microbial Ecosystems through Horizontal Gene Transfer (2016, background): “…antibiotics have existed for billions of years (Barlow and Hall, 2002; Hall and Barlow, 2004; Bhullar et al., 2012; Wright and Poinar, 2012), providing a selective benefit for the producing strains by inhibiting or eliminating other bacteria competing for resources (Martinez, 2008; Aminov, 2009).”
A Brief History of the Antibiotic Era: Lessons Learned and Challenges for the Future (2010, background): “…has been broadening beyond the bullet-target model to reflect the complexity of these interactions (Davies et al., 2006; Fajardo and Martínez, 2008; Aminov, 2009; Lee et al., 2010). resistAnce problem complexity The current state in the field of antimicrobials, resistance, and chemotherapy is…”
Phage Therapy in the Postantibiotic Era (2019, background): “It has been proposed that in nature, antibiotics and their interplay with antibiotic resistance mechanisms serve as a communication channel between the members of a microbial community rather than as strict antimicrobial agents (9).”
Antibiotic Pollution in the Environment: From Microbial Ecology to Public Policy (2019, background): “antibiotic production itself is intimately tied to quorum sensing (QS) [34], with antibiotics maybe acting as QS signal attenuators [35].”
Horizontal Gene Exchange in Environmental Microbiota (2011, background): “In particular, the placement of the problem within the evolutionary and ecological contexts appeared to be especially fruitful (Aminov and Mackie, 2007; Aminov, 2009, 2010).”
