New Danish research has now revealed that the most
common resistance genes in wastewater treatment plants are not to be found among bacteria outside these facilities — in people or animals, for example.

I won't reveal yet who my favorites are, but I will say that these young scientist - founders came up with very creative solutions for preventing infections in some
common surgeries, tackling
resistance in targeted antibody drugs, improving
gene vectors for cell therapies, helping the vision - impaired «see» faces and better read their environments, imaging hard - to - see spots in the lungs and other organs, improving genetic risk analysis, and expediting the logistical operations of hospitals.
The findings reported in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on May 8 add to evidence showing just how
common and abundant those
resistance genes really are in natural environments.
The presence of antimicrobial
resistance genes in 1000 - year - old Incan remains suggest
resistance was
common hundreds of years before we discovered penicillin
In this review, I highlight the main
genes known to cause uncommon monogenic forms of diabetes (e.g. maturity - onset diabetes of the young — MODY — and insulin
resistance syndromes), as well as describe some of the main approaches used to identify
genes involved in the more
common forms of T2D that result from the interaction between environmental risk factors and predisposing genotypes.
Signs of ivermectin toxicosis can occur in any breed but are most
common in ivermectin - sensitive breeds such as collies and other herding breeds.20, 21 Ivermectin sensitivity is derived from a frameshift deletion mutation of the multidrug
resistance gene (MDR1; the most recent nomenclature is ABC ±), resulting in a severely truncated, nonfunctional protein product.
Another example is the defective multi-drug
resistance gene that has been ascertained to be
common in Collies and Shepherds.
This is particularly
common in dogs that have a genetic mutation known as the MDR1 (multi-drug
resistance)
gene mutation.
