Tiny antibiotic traces found to greatly accelerate resistance spread

Antibiotic resistance is widely recognized as one of the most urgent public health challenges of the twenty first century. Now, a new study shows that even very small amounts of antibiotics that commonly appear in soil, rivers, wastewater, and agricultural runoff may significantly accelerate the spread of antibiotic resistance genes among bacteria. The research, published in Biocontaminant, investigates how four typical antibiotics found in the environment influence both vertical and horizontal gene transfer, the two major pathways through which bacteria pass on resistance. The team examined tetracycline, ampicillin, kanamycin, and streptomycin at concentrations ranging from extremely low environmental levels to sub inhibitory levels. These concentrations are commonly detected in rivers, farmland soil, livestock operations, and hospital wastewater. The scientists established three experimental models to capture how resistance spreads. The first model focused on vertical gene transfer, which refers to the passage of genes from parent cells to their progeny. The ...

【EXPERT Q&A】What are the differences between domestic generic targeted drugs and those from India?

Drugdu.com expert’s response: There are significant differences between domestically produced generic targeted drugs and Indian-produced generic targeted drugs in terms of research and development foundations, production standards, market regulation, pricing strategies, quality risks, and international recognition. A detailed analysis is as follows: I. Research and Development Foundations and Adaptability to Indications Domestically Produced Generic Drugs: These are typically developed based on extensive domestic clinical data and patient needs, enabling them to more precisely adapt to the genetic characteristics, disease spectra, and medication habits of Chinese patients. For example, domestically produced Gefitinib (Iressa) was optimized during the research and development phase to target the high-incidence mutation types in Chinese patients with non-small cell lung cancer, ensuring efficacy and safety. Indian-Produced Generic Drugs: These rely on global research and development experience, particularly excelling in the field of biosimilars. However, they may not fully consider the specific needs of Chinese patients. For instance, ...
