1. New antibiotic resistance genes and their diversity
Abstract : Antibiotic resistance is increasing worldwide and is considered a severe threat to public health. Often, antibiotic resistance is caused by antibiotic resistance genes, of which many are hypothesized to have been transferred into human pathogens from environmental bacteria. READ MORE

2. Quinolone resistance in Bacteroides fragilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, two opportunistic pathogens
Abstract : Opportunistic pathogens can cause infections in case of structural or functional defects in the host. Examples of Gram-negative opportunists are the Bacteroides fragilis group, anaerobic, non-spore forming rods and the aerobic, non-fermentative rod Pseudomonas aeruginosa. READ MORE

3. Identification of novel antibiotic resistance genes through large-scale data analysis
Abstract : Antibiotic resistance is increasing worldwide, and is considered a serious threat to public health by e.g. the World Health Organization. Antibiotic resistance genes are hypothesized to originate from harmless bacteria in and around us, from where they are horizontally transfered into human pathogens. READ MORE

4. Molecular mechanisms of fluoroquinolone resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Abstract : Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen. In compromised human, it can cause infections in urinary tract, wound and respiratory tract such as pneumonia and progressive lung diseases. READ MORE

5. Mechanisms of resistance to ciprofloxacin in Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Abstract : A few years ago, most strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae were susceptible to ciprofloxacin, but after introduction as a first line therapy, resistant strains emerged. Ciprofloxacin inhibit two enzymes necessary for DNA replication. READ MORE
