Dynamics of antibiotic resistance genes in plasmids and bacteriophages
Crit Rev Microbiol. 2024 Apr 23:1-10. doi: 10.1080/1040841X.2024.2339262. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis brief review explores the intricate interplay between bacteriophages and plasmids in the context of antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) dissemination. Originating from studies in the late 1950s, the review traces the evolution of knowledge regarding extrachromosomal factors facilitating horizontal gene transfer and adaptation in bacteria. Analyzing the gene repertoires of plasmids and bacteriophages, the study highlights their contributions to bacterial evolution and adaptation. While plasmids encode essential and acce...

The development and application of the Environmental Relative Moldiness Index (ERMI)
Crit Rev Microbiol. 2024 Apr 23:1-11. doi: 10.1080/1040841X.2024.2344112. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe prevalence of asthma in the United States (U.S.) has doubled since 1970, coinciding with the increased use of gypsum-drywall in home construction. Mold growth is promoted when gypsum-drywall gets wet. Since asthma is linked to mold exposures, accurate quantification of mold contamination in homes is critical. Therefore, qPCR assays were created and then used to quantify 36 common molds in dust collected in representative U.S. homes during the first American Health Homes Survey (AHHS). The concentrations of the 36 mol...

The link between obesity and the gut microbiota and immune system in early-life
Crit Rev Microbiol. 2024 Apr 23:1-21. doi: 10.1080/1040841X.2024.2342427. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn early-life, the gut microbiota is highly modifiable, being modulated by external factors such as maternal microbiota, mode of delivery, and feeding strategies. The composition of the child's gut microbiota will deeply impact the development and maturation of its immune system, with consequences for future health. As one of the main sources of microorganisms to the child, the mother represents a crucial factor in the establishment of early-life microbiota, impacting the infant's wellbeing. Recent studies have proposed ...
