- 抗微生物耐药性 抗微生物耐药性
- 基因组学就是基因组学.
背景情况:
- 水生环境中可能存在扩展光谱β-乳糖酶 (ESBL) 生产细菌,由于抗微生物耐药性 (AMR) 基因通过移动遗传元素 (MGE) 传播,这可能会给公共卫生带来风险.
- 目前缺乏水生环境中AMR基因的监测政策,导致传播途径和风险在很大程度上未知.
- 现有的培养独立方法在隔离耐药水生细菌和提供高分辨率的遗传数据以与人类病原体进行比较方面存在局限性.
研究的目的:
- 调查来自新加坡水生环境的ESBL产生格拉姆阴性细菌的遗传特征.
- 在这些水生细菌分离物中识别AMR基因和相关MGE.
- 将水生细菌中的AMR决定因素的遗传结构与人类病原体中发现的基因结构进行比较.

In 1928, bacteriologist Frederick Griffith worked on a vaccine for pneumonia, which is caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. Griffith studied two pneumonia strains in mice: one pathogenic and one non-pathogenic. Only the pathogenic strain killed host mice.
Griffith made an unexpected discovery when he killed the pathogenic strain and mixed its remains with the live, non-pathogenic strain. Not only did the mixture kill host mice, but it also contained living pathogenic bacteria that...
