Deliberations on the impact of antibiotic contamination on dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes in aquatic environments

To identify the proteins involved during biofilm formation or needed to form dense and functionally developed biofilms, protein expression profiles of planktonic and biofilm

 Analyzing the genetic context around known ARGs and insertion sequences containing DDE domains in all publicly available sequenced bacterial genomes and the association

In this thesis, strategies are developed and applied to explore and identify novel antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) captured and carried by different mobile

Chapter 5 describes the different findings from the papers related to environmental fate processes of ENP like aggregation, natural organic matter (NOM)

Engineered nanoparticles (ENP) can be of environmental concern, both due to the possible hazardous effects but also due to the differences in properties compared

(Paper I), the recent origin of CMY-1/MOX-1, MOX-2 and MOX-9 class C beta-lactamases as Aeromonas sanarellii, Aeromonas caviae and Aeromonas media respectively (Paper II),

In this thesis, we identified the origins of several mobile antibiotic resistance genes exclusively from WGS data available from public sequencing repositories,

Among the 84 patients admitted to the hospital with the suspicion of a bacterial infection 73% received only one antibiotic (men 70%, women 69% and children 82%) and 25% received 2
