... population declines.
"In the short term, captive management of frogs with complementary disease-resistance genes may offer the best hope for saving species from extinction," says Bruce Waldman, a ...
Virginia Tech faculty member Bingyu Zhao is investigating a disease-resistant gene in corn that prevents bacteria from invading distantly related plant species.
... resistant to Phytophthora infestans, the dreaded potato blight. With this method, multiple resistance genes from different species of potatoes can be isolated and possibly used simultaneously. This ...
... and number of failed treatments , and slowed the rate at which drug-resistant genes spread within the parasites that cause malaria: Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae and P. ...
... the cells that contain the 2, 4-D resistant gene. Stephen Farrand, a U of I ... DNA testing that only three of them had the herbicide resistant gene. Cuttings were taken of those three and planted. ...
Researchers have found a gene in wild grasses that is resistant to stem and leaf rust - pathogens that kill wheat - and are hoping it will help them protect crops.
... Alu element could jump, carrying the drug-resistance gene onto the cells' chromosomes, the cells ... Alu is by far the most abundant class of jumping genes and poses the greatest transposon-mediated threat ...
... study is that even very closely related isolates of A. baumannii can differ significantly in the set of resistance genes that they carry," said Adams. "It is known that resistance genes can be shared ...
... blocks the DNA molecules (plasmids) that move from one cell to another, spreading antibiotic resistance genes. With the plasmids disabled, which the researchers believe is a result of the DNA itself ...
... found in certain bacteria can impede the spread of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic staphylococci. It blocks DNA molecules that move from one cell to another, spreading antibiotic resistance genes.
...
"If we can inhibit the secretion systems that mediate transfer of antibiotic resistance genes from one bacterial pathogen to another, we could potentially prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance ...
... from both flies and litter. The bacteria isolated from flies had very similar resistance characteristics and resistance genes to bacteria found in the poultry litter.
Flies have ready access to both ...
Using state-of-the-art genomics techniques, scientists have identified a cluster of soybean genes that provide resistance to the fungus which causes Asian soybean rust. The discovery will help defend ...
... VRE themselves are not generally considered to be highly pathogenic, the danger is that they may pass on their resistance genes to other bacteria. Sahlström concludes, "Our results demonstrate a need ...
... plants in hospital settings may serve as a reservoir for opportunistic pathogens or antibiotic resistance genes. "This is something that should be looked at more closely by experts in infectious ...
