Drug efflux, also referred to as the M phenotype, is encoded by the mefA gene and results in low-level resistance to erythromycin but not clindamycin
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) present in bacteria equip them to withstand the effects of antibiotics
It is evident that the pace of discovery and Use of antibiotics in human and animal medicine has applied selective pressure for the global dissemination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria
Investigations on ARGs mostly focus on the environments in which antibiotics are frequently used, such as hospitals and farms
However, the characteristics of the spread and integration of the gene erm (X) into the bifidobacteria genome are poorly understood
e
Despite the role Eres play in macrolide resistance, research into this A DNA fragment containing the coding and regulatory sequences of the erythromycin (Er) resistance (ermE) gene of the Er produces Streptomyces erythraeus was cloned in Streptomyces lividans using the plasmid vector pIJ61

From left to right: Multi-drug resistant Salmonella enterica, kpc2 carbapenem resistance gene Why it matters The removal of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is important for inhibiting the spread of antibiotic resistance in the aquatic environment
Of the 338 GBS isolates, 55 (17%) were resistant to erythromycin, whereas 26 (8%) were resistant to clindamycin
Antibiotic resistance is an escalating global concern, leading to millions of annual fatalities

diphtheriae, including the erythromycin resistance gene ermX on plasmid pNG2 and genes dfrA16
However, the
Indeed, since their initial appearance in Shigella containing two resistance genes ( aadA1 and sul1 ), integrons have brought to the clinical setting 175 other
A significant correlation was found between
Feb 23 2024 Duke University
The rapid transmission of erm genes responsible for MLS B resistance has strongly limited the clinical application of traditional macrolides such as erythromycin
Erythromycin resistance genes are widely disseminated among many species of bacteria; over a dozen resistance determinants have been described (1, 11, 34)
27 million people worldwide and associated with nearly 5 million deaths in 2019
More than 35,000 people die as a result, according to CDC’s 2019 Antibiotic Resistance (AR The Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD) is a curated resource that provides information on the molecular basis and detection of antimicrobial resistance (AMR)
However, the prevalence and phylogenetic distribution of resistance genes in C
Scientists introduce an antibiotic resistance cassette within the coding region of the gene they are trying to disrupt or delete, which both inactivates the gene and acts as a marker for the mutation
Notably, ARGs are able to be transmitted by horizontal Five from among 8 streptomycin-resistant strains carried iutA and Int1 genes, which indicate a horizontal transfer of resistant genes between bacteria
We analyzed all known erm genes and assessed the ability of previously published erm primers to detect
8 million antimicrobial-resistant infections occur in the U
