Journal ArticleDOI

Tetracycline Antibiotics: Mode of Action, Applications, Molecular Biology, and Epidemiology of Bacterial Resistance

TL;DR: Changing the use of tetracyclines in human and animal health as well as in food production is needed if this class of broad-spectrum antimicrobials through the present century is to continue to be used.
Journal ArticleDOI

Update on acquired tetracycline resistance genes

TL;DR: New conjugative transposons, carrying different ribosomal protection tet genes, have been identified and an increase in the number of antibiotic resistance genes linked to tet genes has been found and whether these new elements may help to spread the tet genes they carry to a wider bacterial host range is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nomenclature for macrolide and macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B resistance determinants.

TL;DR: The usage of the newer macrolides has increased dramatically over the last few years, which has led to increased exposure of bacterial populations to macrolide resistance, and the nomenclature for these genes has varied and has been inconsistent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of antibiotic resistance

TL;DR: The efficiency of antibiotics is compromised by a growing number of antibiotic-resistant pathogens and the magnitude of the problem recently prompted a number of international and national bodies to take actions to protect the public.
