Abstract:
We report the complete genome sequence of macrolide-resistant Bordetella pertussis BP616, which was first isolated in 2018 in Japan. The BP616 genome can serve as a valuable specific reference for genomic and epidemiological studies of this resistant bacterium.

01:30Development of Antibiotic Resistance
135
Antibiotic resistance is a major public health concern that arises when bacteria evolve mechanisms to withstand the effects of antibiotic treatments. This resistance can be intrinsic, acquired through genetic mutations, or transferred between bacteria via horizontal gene transfer. The development of antibiotic resistance poses significant challenges in treating bacterial infections and necessitates ongoing research to develop new therapeutic strategies.Intrinsic resistance occurs when bacterial...

00:46Genomic DNA in Prokaryotes
44.4K
The genome of most prokaryotic organisms consists of double-stranded DNA organized into one circular chromosome in a region of cytoplasm called the nucleoid. The chromosome is tightly wound, or supercoiled, for efficient storage. Prokaryotes also contain other circular pieces of DNA called plasmids. These plasmids are smaller than the chromosome and often carry genes that confer adaptive functions, such as antibiotic resistance.
