Non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals promote the transmission of multidrug resistance plasmids through intra- and intergenerational conjugation
Y. Wang, J. Lu, et al.
This groundbreaking study reveals how non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals, including common medications like ibuprofen and propranolol, may accelerate the spread of antibiotic resistance. Conducted by Yue Wang, Ji Lu, Shuai Zhang, Jie Li, Likai Mao, Zhiguo Yuan, Philip L. Bond, and Jianhua Guo from the University of Queensland, the research uncovers alarming correlations between drug exposure and resistance gene dissemination.
