Antibiotics Resistance and Putative Virulence Factors of Aeromonas Hydrophila Isolated from Estuary

The presence of microorganisms is ubiquitous and Aeromonas species is one great example. These are found in both aquatic and environmental habitats including sediment, sea water, estuary, sea grass, sea weed and water. Among various species, A. hydrophila is the most studied due to its ability to cause diseases in humans & animals as…

Combining Stool and Stories: Exploring Antimicrobial Resistance Among a Longitudinal Cohort of International Health Students

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a developing global public health concern having bio-social aspect in it. Although AMR is a biological phenomenon, the factors that contribute to the emergence and spread of resistance genes are largely social, and include antibiotic prescription and usage behaviour, and waste management. The World Health Organization…

Antibiotic Resistance in the Environment

Antibiotic resistance has evolved to become a global health challenge with increasing ability of the bacterial species to tolerate antibiotics. Despite presence of several barriers to the flow of genes, the bacteria continuously acquire antibiotic resistance factors from other species. The transmission of antibiotic resistance gene are known to occur…
