Genomic resistance in historical clinical isolates increased in frequency and mobility after the age of antibiotics

|
By Arya Kaul, Celia Souque, Mische Holland, Michael Baym
| BioRxiv
Abstract Antibiotic resistance is frequently observed shortly after the clinical introduction of an antibiotic. Whether and how frequently that resistance occurred before the introduction is harder to determine, as isolates could not have been tested for resistance before an antibiotic was discovered. Historical collections, like the British National Collection of Type Cultures (NCTC), stretching back to 1885, provide a window into this history.

| Nature Verified
Abstract Engineering the genetic code of an organism has been proposed to provide a firewall from natural ecosystems by preventing viral infections and gene transfer1,2,3,4,5,6. However, numerous viruses and mobile genetic elements encode parts of the translational apparatus7,8,9, potentially rendering a genetic-code-based firewall ineffective.
