The dramatic increase in the prevalence of antibiotic resistant (AR) genes
in numerous bacterial species has been a heavily discussed topic within
the scientific community. Antibiotic resistant bacteria pose a serious
threat...
The proposed solution is a self-reported, symptoms-based syndromic surveillance system that is universal, interactive, integrative, and combined with artificial intelligence. Once developed, this framework has the potential to...
The goal of this research was to determine the effects of the growth of invasive plant Amur Honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii) on the rhizosphere bacterial community composition, and diversity in an urban wetland forest ecosystem....

The spread of antibiotic resistance among bacteria is a potential threat to the effectiveness of antibiotics currently used for controlling common human pathogens. Also, the resistance to current antibiotics is spreading at a...
Multiple drug resistance is becoming increasingly problematic in the U.S., where antibiotics are overused both in agriculture and healthcare. One way bacteria can develop this resistance is through acquisition of antibiotic...
Many Gram negative bacteria including Salmonella enterica species exhibit evolving multi-drug resistance coded for on their chromosome and on mobile genetic elements. Salmonella species carrying multi-drug resistance plasmids...
