1. Co-operative recombination mechanisms promoting gene clustering and lateral transfer of antibacterial drug resistance
Abstract : Transposons of the Mu superfamily are widespread and have been shown to play an important role in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance among microorganisms. One of these elements, Tn5090/Tn402 is the basal vehicle of the type 1 integrons in which mobile resistance gene cassettes are inserted to form clusters and operons. READ MORE

2. Modeling of bacterial DNA patterns important in horizontal gene transfer using stochastic grammars
Abstract : DNA contains genes which carry the blueprints for all processes necessary to maintain life. In addition to genes, DNA also contains a wide range of functional patterns, which governs many of these processes. These functional patterns have typically a high variability, both within and between species, which makes them hard to detect. READ MORE

4. Deliberations on the impact of antibiotic contamination on dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes in aquatic environments
Abstract : The great success of antibiotics in treating bacterial infectious diseases has been hampered by the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Not only does antibiotic resistance threaten to increase the difficulty in treating bacterial infectious diseases, but it could also make medical procedures such as routine surgery and organ transplantations very dangerous to perform.

5. Molecular basis for trimethoprim and sulphonamide resistance in Gram negative pathogens
Abstract : Resistance to antibiotics is becoming an important global public health problem. Infectious diseases are still among the major causes of disease and death in many parts of the world and the possibilities to treat bacterial infections are now threatened due to the spread of antibiotic resistance.
