1. Antibiotic Resistance in Wastewater : Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)and antibiotic resistance genes
Abstract : A large part of the antibiotics consumed ends up in wastewater, and in the wastewater the antibiotics may exert selective pressure for or maintain resistance among microorganisms. Antibiotic resistant bacteria and genes encoding antibiotic resistance are commonly detected in wastewater, often at higher rates and concentrations compared to surface water. READ MORE

2. Antibiotic uptake in Gram-negative bacteria
Abstract : The increasing emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a serious threat to public health. Of particular concern are Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae or Pseudomonas aeruginosa. READ MORE

3. New AI-based methods for studying antibiotic-resistant bacteria
Abstract : Antibiotic resistance is a growing challenge for human health, causing millions of deaths worldwide annually. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), acquired through mutations in existing genes or horizontal gene transfer, are the primary cause of bacterial resistance. READ MORE

4. Human Pathogens and Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria in Polar Regions
Abstract : Coincident with human activity in recent decades, human-associated microorganisms have arrived to the Antarctic region, possibly linked to increasing presence of scientific bases and ship-borne tourists. In the Arctic, humans have been present for a very long time, and the few parts of the Arctic without human activities is decreasing with time. READ MORE

5. Selection of Resistance at very low Antibiotic Concentrations
Abstract : The extensive medical and agricultural use and misuse of antibiotics during the last 70 years has caused an enrichment of resistant pathogenic bacteria that now severely threatens our capacity to efficiently treat bacterial infections. While is has been known for a long time that high concentrations of antibiotics can select for resistant mutants, less is known about the lower limit at which antibiotics can be selective and enrich for resistant bacteria.
