Prevalence and hazardous impact of pharmaceutical and personal care products and antibiotics in environment: A review on emerging contaminants

TL;DR: In this article, the major sources responsible for emergence of antibiotic resistance are elucidated and a variety of introductory sources and fate of PPCPs in aquatic environment including human and veterinary wastes, aquaculture and agriculture related wastes, and other anthropogenic activities have been discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotics in wastewater: From its occurrence to the biological removal by environmentally conscious technologies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the most recent advances about the fate of antibiotics on biological wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) and analyzed the role of the antibiotic properties and the process operating conditions.

Development of CRISPR-Cas13a-based antimicrobials capable of sequence-specific killing of target bacteria.

TL;DR: A bacteriophage delivered Cas13a system for killing target bacteria and detecting bacterial genes is developed and it is demonstrated that the CapsidCas13a(s) can be applied to detect bacterial genes through gene-specific depletion of bacteria without employing nucleic acid manipulation and optical visualization devices.

Natural Products as Sources of New Drugs from 1981 to 2014

TL;DR: This contribution is a completely updated and expanded version of the four prior analogous reviews that were published in this journal in 1997, 2003, 2007, and 2012, and the time frame has been extended to cover the 34 years from January 1, 1981, to December 31, 2014, for all diseases worldwide, and from 1950 (earliest so far identified) to December 2014 for all approved antitumor drugs worldwide.

antiSMASH 5.0: updates to the secondary metabolite genome mining pipeline

TL;DR: AntiSMASH 5 adds detection rules for clusters encoding the biosynthesis of acyl-amino acids, β-lactones, fungal RiPPs, RaS-Ri PPs, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, C-nucleosides, PPY-like ketones and lipolanthines and provides more detailed predictions for type II polyketide synthase-encoding gene clusters.

A new antibiotic kills pathogens without detectable resistance

TL;DR: The properties of this compound suggest a path towards developing antibiotics that are likely to avoid development of resistance, as well as several methods to grow uncultured organisms by cultivation in situ or by using specific growth factors.
