For the last decade, van Boeckel has worked on issues related to automating epidemiological data collection and mapping the geographic distribution of antimicrobial use and resistance genes. However, ...

My colleagues and I identified a resistance gene previously undetected in the U.S. using genetic and computational methods that can help improve how scientists detect and track antimicrobial ...

Could a gene regulatory network in gut microbes have evolved its elaborate and tightly regulated molecular machinery only to ...

A key to antibiotic resistance might be the use of viruses to kill bacteria, however, the systems that bacteria employ to defense themselves against viruses are unknown. Understanding these systems ...

Genes responsible for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) can spread from microbe to microbe through circular genetic material called plasmids, and this lateral transfer occurs in the gut. In Applied ...

Antibiotic resistance is a global health threat that could supplant cancer mortality within a few decades. Researchers at ...
