Impact of contrasting poultry exposures on human, poultry, and wastewater antibiotic resistomes in Bangladesh (2023)
Journal Article
Williams, A. D., Rousham, E., Neal, A. L., Amin, M. B., Hobman, J. L., Stekel, D., & Islam, M. A. (2023). Impact of contrasting poultry exposures on human, poultry, and wastewater antibiotic resistomes in Bangladesh. Microbiology Spectrum, 11(6), e0176323. https://doi.org/10.1128/spectrum.01763-23

Interactions between humans, animals, and the environment are considered critical foci for addressing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). However, One Health data on AMR in low- and middle-income countries are presently scarce. Using metagenomics, we inv...

The adaptability of the ion binding site by the Ag(I)/Cu(I) periplasmic chaperone SilF (2023)
Journal Article
Lithgo, R. M., Hanževački, M., Harris, G., Kamps, J. J. .. G., Holden, E., Gianga, T., …Scott, D. J. (2023). The adaptability of the ion binding site by the Ag(I)/Cu(I) periplasmic chaperone SilF. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 299(11), Article 105331. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbc.2023.105331

The periplasmic chaperone SilF has been identified as part of an Ag(I) detoxification system in Gram negative bacteria. Sil proteins also bind Cu(I), but with reported weaker affinity, therefore leading to the designation of a specific detoxification...

Predicting bioactivity of antibiotic metabolites by molecular docking and dynamics (2023)
Journal Article
Chio, H., Guest, E. E., Hobman, J. L., Dottorini, T., Hirst, J. D., & Stekel, D. J. (2023). Predicting bioactivity of antibiotic metabolites by molecular docking and dynamics. Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling, 123, Article 108508. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmgm.2023.108508

Antibiotics enter the environment through waste streams, where they can exert selective pressure for antimicrobial resistance in bacteria. However, many antibiotics are excreted as partly metabolized forms, or can be subject to partial breakdown in w...
