The study identified two distinct gut microbiome groups (E1 and E2) in a migratory Anser serrirostris population, with E1 showing higher abundances of opportunistic pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Key ARGs included beta-lactamase-encoding genes such as blaCTX-M, blaZ, blaCARB-1, blaADC, blaPDC, and blaOXA-213, which were more prevalent in E1.
Molecular resistance mechanisms to newly approved antibiotics (2017-2025) in WHO priority pathogens.
The paper reviews molecular resistance mechanisms to newly approved antibiotics in WHO priority pathogens, identifying various beta-lactamases, efflux pumps, and target site modifications that confer resistance.
