Occurrence and distribution of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance determinants in coastal environments (2021)
Book Chapter
Baena-Nogueras, R. M., Hobman, J. L., & Gomes, R. L. (2021). Occurrence and distribution of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance determinants in coastal environments. 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...

Hybrid assembly of an agricultural slurry virome reveals a diverse and stable community with the potential to alter the metabolism and virulence of veterinary pathogens (2021)
Journal Article
Cook, R., Hooton, S., Trivedi, U., King, L., Dodd, C. E., Hobman, J. L., …Millard, A. D. (2021). Hybrid assembly of an agricultural slurry virome reveals a diverse and stable community with the potential to alter the metabolism and virulence of veterinary pathogens. Microbiome, 9, Article 65. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40168-021-01010-3

Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth, known to be crucial components of microbial ecosystems. However, there is little information on the viral community within agricultural waste. There are currently ~ 2.7 million dairy cattle...

Towards a general model for predicting minimal metal concentrations co-selecting for antibiotic resistance plasmids (2021)
Journal Article
Arya, S., Williams, A., Reina, S. V., Knapp, C. W., Kreft, J., Hobman, J. L., & Stekel, D. J. (2021). Towards a general model for predicting minimal metal concentrations co-selecting for antibiotic resistance plasmids. Environmental Pollution, 275, Article 116602. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2021.116602

© 2021 Elsevier Ltd Many antibiotic resistance genes co-occur with resistance genes for transition metals, such as copper, zinc, or mercury. In some environments, a positive correlation between high metal concentration and high abundance of antibioti...
