TLDR
By far the most widespread mechanism of resistance to AGs is the inactivation of these antibiotics by AG-modifying enzymes, and an overview of these mechanisms is provided.Abstract:
Aminoglycoside (AG) antibiotics are used to treat many Gram-negative and some Gram-positive infections and, importantly, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Among various bacterial species, resistance to AGs arises through a variety of intrinsic and acquired mechanisms. The bacterial cell wall serves as a natural barrier for small molecules such as AGs and may be further fortified via acquired mutations. Efflux pumps work to expel AGs from bacterial cells, and modifications here too may cause further resistance to AGs. Mutations in the ribosomal target of AGs, while rare, also contribute to resistance. Of growing clinical prominence is resistance caused by ribosome methyltransferases. By far the most widespread mechanism of resistance to AGs is the inactivation of these antibiotics by AG-modifying enzymes. We provide here an overview of these mechanisms by which bacteria become resistant to AGs and discuss their prevalence and potential for clinical relevance.read more

TL;DR: The whole genome sequencing and genomic characterization of two A. butzleri strains isolated from shellfish showed resistance to β-lactams, vanocomycin, tetracycline and erythromycin and susceptibility to aminoglycosides and ciprofloxacin, and the endowment of antibiotic and heavy metal resistance and virulence determinants of these shellfish-isolated strains was reported.

TL;DR: Overall, WGS-based predictions of AMR and serotype were highly concordant with phenotype determination regardless of computational approach used, and a single nucleotide polymorphism in the nuoF coding region of one of the isolates may be responsible for the observed streptomycin-resistant phenotype.

Dual functional electrospun core-shell nanofibers for anti-infective guided bone regeneration membranes.
TL;DR: Electrospun core-shell nanofibers loaded with MNA and nano-hydroxyapatites could be employed for anti-infective GBR membranes due to the achievement of dual functions with enhanced osteogenesis and slow MNA release for optimal clinical application.

Deciphering of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and potential abiotic indicators for the emergence of ARGs in an interconnected lake-river-reservoir system.
TL;DR: Network results showed that ARGs conferring resistance to aminoglycoside frequently co-occurred with class 1 integrons and Limnohabitans, and the highest resistance risk was caused by enrofloxacin in the Dianshan Lake.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed and quantified the genomic diversity of the indicator Escherichia coli in a German wastewater treatment plant and related it to isolates' antibiotic resistance, showing a surprisingly large pan-genome, which mirrors how rich an environment a treatment plant is.
