In Pharmaceuticals in Marine and Coastal Environments: Occurrence, Effects and Challenges in a Changing World (121-167). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-08-102971-8.00008-1

The occurrence of antibiotic compounds in coastal environments is of great concern since most of the pollutant discharges flow into the ocean. The immediate effect of antibiotic release in marine environments is believed to be the selection of resist...

Metal Resistance and Its Association With Antibiotic Resistance (2017)
Book Chapter
Pal, C., Asiani, K. R., Arya, S., Rensing, C., Stekel, D. J., Larsson, D. J., & Hobman, J. L. (2017). Metal Resistance and Its Association With Antibiotic Resistance. In R. K. Poole (Ed.), Microbiology of metal ions (261-313). Academic Press. https://doi.org/10.1016/bs.ampbs.2017.02.001

Antibiotic resistance is recognised as a major global threat to public health by the World Health Organization. Currently, several hundred thousand deaths yearly can be attributed to infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The major driver for...

Response of Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 to metals (2015)
Book Chapter
Monsieurs, P., Hobman, J. L., Vandenbussche, G., Mergeay, M., & Van Hoult, R. (2015). Response of Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 to metals. In M. Mergay, & R.

Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 displays resistance to a plethora of metals. Its response and underlying genetic determinants are dissected and detailed metal by metal (from arsenic to zinc). An important role for its megaplasmids pMOL28 and pMOL30 is... Read More about Response of Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 to metals.
