(2023-07-05)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is expected to escalate into a major crisis as bacterial infections become increasingly harder to treat. Some difficult-to-eradicate bacteria may be treated with multiple antibiotic drugs. ...
-
(2016-07-27)Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) are typically incapable of addressing the influx of antibiotics (AB), and may act as a harbor for the selection and proliferation of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB). In order to examine ...
-
(2014-05-02)Streptomycetes, as nonmotile microbes, are forced to adapt to environmental conditions they cannot escape. In order to adapt to their environment streptomycetes produce an array of both secondary metabolites to antagonize ...
-
(2017-05-02)Throughout history, especially beginning in the mid-twentieth century, humans have adapted numerous specialized metabolites produced by microbes as therapeutics. Since their inception, antibiotics have been a powerful tool ...
-
(2019-11-13)Salmonella is a leading bacterial pathogen, causing a significant number of human infections and deaths every year in the United States. Recently, the increase in the prevalence of ceftriaxone and azithromycin resistance ...
-
(2017-05-03)The green bottle fly (Lucilia sericata) larvae are amongst the first colonizers of carrion and are well studied for their impact in forensics, decomposition ecology, and medicine. The larvae of L. sericata are the only FDA ...
-
(2014-04-16)Adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) is a powerful tool for strain improvement, and has been applied successfully to improve a range of desirable phenotypes in model organisms through continuous cultivation under a selective ...
-
(2023-04-12)Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical method to induce oxidation on demand. Oxidation has benefits to biological function in signaling pathways but can also cause damaging oxidative stress (OS), associated with ...
-
Antibiotic resistance emerged shortly after the introduction of antibiotics into the field of medicine, bringing about a challenging concern. Resistance to antibiotics is encoded by antibiotic resistance genes, among other ...
-
(2021-04-12)Nearly half of clinically used antibiotics target ribosome, the vital translational machinery for bacterial survival. In this dissertation, we studied the translational regulation and antibiotic resistance in Mycobacterium ...
-
(1987)This project consisted of three phases, each of which was designed to provide insight into the genetic basis for the difference in virulence between strains of Brucella abortus. In the first phase plasmids were constructed ...
-
(1987)I used an in vitro mutagenisis technique to introduce antibiotic gene inserts into two different F plasmid transfer (tra) operon genes. The transfer functions of these genes, trbA and trbB, had not been previously characterized ...
-
(2019-08-28)Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a major opportunistic canine pathogen that has been associated with an increasing number of human infections. As an opportunist, S. pseudintermedius causes a wide range of infections, ...
