Extensive screening reveals previously undiscovered aminoglycoside resistance genes in human pathogens
3 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
Antibiotic resistance is a growing threat to human health, caused in part by pathogens accumulating antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) through horizontal gene transfer. New ARGs are typically not recognized until they have become widely disseminated, which limits our ability to reduce their spread. In this study, we use large-scale computational screening of bacterial genomes to identify previously undiscovered...
