Credit: Jan Zrimec/Chalmers University of Technology Pathogenic bacteria in humans are developing resistance to antibiotics much faster than expected. Now, computational research at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, shows that one reason could be significant genetic transfer between bacteria in our ecosystems and to humans.

Last week geneticist Dr Charles Steward shared with us his experiences of searching for a genetic cause for his children’s rare neurological diseases. While it is a very rare form of epilepsy, it is such a cheap and harmless medication that it is often used as a first-line therapy for infants in intensive care who have no genetic diagnosis.

Modern hospitals and antibiotic treatment alone did not create all the antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria we see today. Instead, selection pressures from before widespread use of antibiotics influenced some of them to develop, new research has discovered.

Pathogen genomics analyzes the genetic code of viruses, bacteria and other disease-causing organisms to understand how infectious they are, how deadly they are, and how they spread. Diseases do not respect borders: a disease threat in one country is also a threat to others.
