Genomics and epidemiology of multidrug resistance in wastewater treatment plant bacteria
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Multidrug-resistant bacteria are a threat to both human and animal health worldwide. Bacteria often gain resistance to drugs by collecting antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) from other bacteria. One potential hotbed for this exchange is wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), where environmental bacteria co-mingle with human/animal-associated bacteria. Unfortunately, little is known about the epidemiology of multidrug-resistant bacteria in WWTPs. To close this gap, researchers isolated 82 multidrug-resistant bacterial strains from WWTPs and compared their genomes to bacterial genomes found in public databases. Most multidrug-resistant bacteria were not closely related to human/animal-associated bacteria, and those that were closely related had distinct plasmid profiles compared to relatives. Plasmids, as opposed to chromosomes, were also the main carriers of ARGs..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

Rating
0.0 stars

In this activity, learners explore the "nuts and bolts" of gene chips. Learners construct a simple model of a DNA microarray (also known as gene chips) and learn how microarrays can be used to identify and treat disease--including cancer. This resource includes references and an explanation of microarrays.

This initial module from the GENIQUEST project introduces the dragons and the inheritance of their traits, then delves into meiosis and its relationship to inherited traits. Students examine the effects of choosing different gametes on dragon offspring, and learn about genetic recombination by creating recombination events to generate specific offspring from two given parent dragons. Students learn about inbred strains and breed an inbred strain of dragons themselves.

Molecular Biology and Genetics in Modern Medicine
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This course provides a foundation for understanding the relationship between molecular biology, developmental biology, genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, and medicine. It develops explicit connections between basic research, medical understanding, and the perspective of patients. Principles of human genetics are reviewed. We translate clinical understanding into analysis at the level of the gene, chromosome and molecule; we cover the concepts and techniques of molecular biology and genomics, and the strategies and methods of genetic analysis, including an introduction to bioinformatics. Material in the course extends beyond basic principles to current research activity in human genetics.

Preterm infants, antibiotic resistance, and the potential utility of probiotics

It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Babies born before 37 weeks often need antibiotics to stave off infection. Antibiotic exposure like this can increase the amount of antibiotic resistance genes carried by the microbes in their gut. But giving them a probiotic of beneficial bacteria may help. To test this, researchers examined the microbiome antibiotic resistance genes in three groups of infants: preterm infants with probiotic supplementation, preterm infants without probiotic supplementation, and full-term infants. The samples were collected from the preterm infants near their predicted due date and from the full-term infants when they were 10 days old. Overall, the number of antibiotic resistance genes didn’t differ between groups, but the types and resistance mechanisms did. The preterm infants not given probiotics had over 80 antibiotic resistance genes unique to their group and had more genes associated with antibiotic inactivation mechanisms than the other groups..."
