The soil resistome: a critical review on antibiotic resistance origins, ecology and dissemination potential in telluric bacteria.

Environmental microbiology - 1 Apr 2015

Nesme Joseph, Simonet Pascal

Abstract excerpt

Soil is a large reservoir of microbial diversity and the majority of antimicrobial compounds used today in human and veterinary health care have been isolated from soil microorganisms. The Darwinian hypothesis of an 'arms-shields race' between antibiotic producers and resistant strains is often cited to explain antibiotic resistance gene determinants (ARGD) origins and diversity. ARGD abundance and antibiotic...
