Marano, Roberto B. M.; Fernandes, Telma; Manaia, Célia M.; Nunes, Olga; Morrison, Donald; Berendonk, Thomas U.; Kreuzinger, Norbert; Tenson, TanelThe World Health Organization Global Action Plan recommends integrated surveillance programs as crucial strategies for monitoring antibiotic resistance. Although several national surveillance programs are in place for clinical and veterinary settings, no such schemes exist for monitoring antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the environment. In this transnational study, we developed, validated, and tested a low-cost...

Every fifth published metagenome is not available to science
Eckert, Ester M.; Cesare, Andrea Di; Fontaneto, Diego; Berendonk, Thomas U.; Bürgmann, Helmut; Cytryn, Eddie; Fatta-Kassinos, Despo; Franzetti, AndreaHave you ever sought to use metagenomic DNA sequences reported in scientific publications? Were you successful? Here, we reveal that metagenomes from no fewer than 20% of the papers found in our literature search, published between 2016 and 2019, were not deposited in a repository or were simply inaccessible. The proportion of inaccessible data within the literature has been increasing year-on-year. Noncomplian...

Vikesland, Peter J.; Pruden, Amy; Alvarez, Pedro J. J.; Aga, Diana; Bürgmann, Helmut; Li, Xiang-dong; Manaia, Célia M.; Nambi, IndumathAntibiotic resistance is a pervasive global health threat. To combat the spread of resistance, it is necessary to consider all possible sources and understand the pathways and mechanisms by which resistance disseminates. Best management practices are urgently needed to provide barriers to the spread of resistance and maximize the lifespan of antibiotics as a precious resource. Herein we advise upon the need for...
Tackling antibiotic resistance: the environmental framework
Berendonk, Thomas U.; Manaia, Célia M.; Merlin, Christophe; Fatta‑Kassinos, Despo; Cytryn, Eddie; Walsh, Fiona; Bürgmann, Helmut; Sørum, HenningAntibiotic resistance is a threat to human and animal health worldwide, and key measures are required to reduce the risks posed by antibiotic resistance genes that occur in the environment. These measures include the identification of critical points of control, the development of reliable surveillance and risk assessment procedures, and the implementation of technological solutions that can prevent environment...
