1. On the Origins of mobile Antibiotic Resistance Genes : A comparative genomics approach
Abstract : Mobile antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), transferable between bacterial cells, are major contributors to the antibiotic resistance crisis we are facing today. From which organisms pathogens acquired these genes is mostly unknown, yet knowledge about their origin is needed in order to limit the emergence and spread of novel ARGs in the future. READ MORE

2. Monitoring anti-infectives and antibiotic resistance genes : with focus on analytical method development, effects of antibiotics and national perspectives
Abstract : Antibiotics are biologically active and are globally used in humans and animal medicine for treatment and in sub-therapeutic amounts as growth promoters in animal husbandry, aquaculture and agriculture. After excretion, inappropriate disposal and discharge from drug production facilities they enter into water bodies either as intact drugs, metabolites or transformed products. READ MORE

3. 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

4. Identification of novel antibiotic resistance genes through the exploration of mobile genetic elements
Abstract : Backgrounds and aims: The evolution of multi-resistant pathogens is seriously threatening our ability to provide modern healthcare. Many of the mobile resistance factors in clinics appear to originate from environmental bacteria. READ MORE

5. Antibiotic resistance in biogas processes
Abstract : Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a well-established technology that can play a key role in development of a sustainable society. In AD, organic wastes such as animal manure, food waste and crop residues are used as substrate and converted to biogas and digestate, which represent green energy and a biofertiliser. READ MORE
