Origins and Evolution of Antibiotic Resistance
Julian Davies,Dorothy Davies +1 more
TL;DR: A review of antibiotic resistance development over the past half-century can be found in this article, with the oft-restated conclusion that it is time to act and to restore the therapeutic applications of antibiotics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Call of the wild: antibiotic resistance genes in natural environments
Heather K. Allen,Justin J. Donato,Helena Huimi Wang,Karen A. Cloud-Hansen,Julian Davies,Jo Handelsman +5 more
TL;DR: The presence and spread of antibiotic resistance in non-agricultural, non-clinical environments is explored and the need for more intensive investigation on this subject is demonstrated.
Origins and evolution of antibiotic resistance
TL;DR: This review presents the salient aspects of antibiotic resistance development over the past half-century, with the oft-restated conclusion that it is time to act.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inactivation of antibiotics and the dissemination of resistance genes.
TL;DR: Although bacterial conjugation once was believed to be restricted in host range, it now appears that this mechanism of transfer permits genetic exchange between many different bacterial genera in nature.
