Choosing Your Battles: Which Resistance Genes Warrant Global Action?

2019-10-03

Abstract excerpt

The increasing accumulation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in pathogens poses a severe threat to the treatment of bacterial infections. However, not all ARGs do not pose the same threats to human health. Here, we present a framework to rank the risk of ARGs based on three factors: “anthropogenic enrichment”, “mobility”, and “host pathogenicity”. The framework is informed by all available bacterial genomes (...
