Validation of Gentamicin and Streptomycin Stability for On-Orbit Microbial Monitoring

|
By Jordan McKaig, Christopher E. Carr
| BioRxiv
Abstract The Genomic Enumeration of Antibiotic Resistance in Space (GEARS) flight project seeks to characterize the frequency and genomic identity of antibiotic-resistant organisms on the International Space Station and expand in-space sequencing-based diagnostic capabilities. This project selects for antibiotic-resistant microbes on space station surfaces using agar plates containing antibiotics, which can require storage of these plates for several months.

Reversion to sensitivity explains limited transmission of resistance in a hospital pathogen

|
By Kevin Tracy, Jordan McKaig, Clare L. Kinnear, Jess A. Millar
| BioRxiv
Abstract Bacterial pathogens that are successful in hospital environments must survive times of intense antibiotic exposure and times of no antibiotic exposure. When these organisms are closely associated with human hosts, they must also transmit from one patient to another for the resistance to spread. The resulting evolutionary dynamics have led to rising levels of resistance in hospitals.
