1. Antibiotic Resistance : Selection in the Presence of Metals and Antimicrobials
Abstract : The external environment is complex: Antibiotics, metals and antimicrobials do not exist in isolation but in mixtures. Human activities such as animal husbandry, fertilization of agricultural fields and human medicine release high amounts these compounds into the environment. READ MORE

2. Computational discovery of antibiotic resistance genes and their horizontal transfer
Abstract : Antibiotic resistance is increasing among clinical infections and represents one of the most serious threats to public health. Pathogens often become resistant by acquiring mobile antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) via horizontal gene transfer (HGT). READ MORE

3. Interactions of satellite phage P4 with its helpers : P2 and WΦ phages
Abstract : Bacteriophage P4 is a defective phage that needs a helper phage to grow lytically, since it lacks structural genes and genes encoding host cell lysis functions. P4 has the capacity to derepress the unrelated prophage P2, or its relatives after infection, thereby getting access to the late functions of the helper. READ MORE

4. Mechanisms and Dynamics of Carbapenem Resistance in Escherichia coli
Abstract : The emergence of extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacteriaceae worldwide has led to an increased use of carbapenems and may drive the development of carbapenem resistance. Existing mechanisms are mainly due to acquired carbapenemases or the combination of ESBL-production and reduced outer membrane permeability. READ MORE

5. In Vitro Drug Sensitivity and Apoptosis in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Abstract : Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a heterogeneous malignancy displaying varying clinical outcome, where molecular markers today can divide patients into prognostic subgroups. Despite the introduction of new agents for treatment, remissions are usually not sustained in CLL and resistance towards treatment can partly be explained by aberrant apoptosis. READ MORE
