Researcher from University of Anbar Details Findings in Oscillatoria (Antibiotic Resistance Genes Detection in Several Local Cyanobacteria Isolates).

A study conducted by researchers at the University of Anbar focused on detecting antibiotic resistance genes in locally isolated cyanobacteria species, including Oscillatoria. The research found that antibiotic resistance genes were present in both cyanobacteria and pathogenic bacteria, suggesting the potential for horizontal gene transfer. This study highlights the role of freshwater cyanobacteria in the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes in their environment.
