Prevalence of clinically troublesome antibiotic resistance traits in severely polluted freshwater channels in Northern China earch

The emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistance is of general concern worldwide. To understand the causal factors driving these processes, we need to identify and quantify antibiotic resistant determinants in natural ecosystems, such systems being both as a source and sink of resistance genes....

IS-MOBIL-Mobilitetsprogr.f.utl.Ph.D-stu

The fitness cost of antimicrobial resistance: a bacterial perspective. Mobile researcher: Vera Diachkova, Russia

The relative and absolute fitness cost of resistance is a key biological parameter determining the rate of emergence and frequency of resistant bacteria in the community. The biological cost can be related to chromosomally localized resistance genes, or p lasmid-encoded resistance genes. So far, ...

INT-BILAT-BILAT-ordningen

USA, Japan and China, - scientific cooperation to ensure the safe use of novel food ingredients derived from gene technology.

The safety of novel food ingredients produced by modern biotechnology has been a concern raised by many consumers, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and scientists. Thus, the need for careful risk assessment of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) int ended for food and feed is recognized in ...

Effect of environmental DNA exposure on bacterial adaptation rates

The increasing amount of DNA sequence data available reveals that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events have been frequent in most bacterial species. This observation identifies HGT as a major driving force in bacterial evolution. Whereas many studies hav e addressed the dynamics and mechanisms o...

Epidemiology of antibiotic resistance in clinical and envirionmental settings: prevalence, host diversity, and transfer of blaTEM genes

This study seeks to determine the prevalence, allele diversity, mobility and epidemiology of blaTEM (ampicillin) resistance genes and their hosts in a broad range of clinical and environmental settings. Recent studies suggest that environmental population s of bacteria can be an important reservo...

Mutator phenotypes: distribution, population dynamics, and impact on bacterial adaptation and evolution

The goals of the project are to clarify the environmental distribution and importance of bacterial mutator strains and to identify the mechanisms underlying the hyper-recombinogenic phenotype. Knowledge of the distribution, dynamics and selection of mutat or phenotypes is crucial for assessing th...
