Supporting evidence — 3 representative gaps
- Cracking the code of resistance: a phylogeny-guided variant fingerprint of ESBL genes in public genomic databases across the human–animal interface (2026) · One Health Advances · doi
Further studies are needed to validate the study's findings and to develop comprehensive solutions to the problem of ESBL-mediated resistance. Research should focus on improving genomic surveillance and data sharing across human, animal, and environmental health sectors. The development of targeted antimicrobial therapies and antibiotic stewardship programs is crucial.

Understanding the emergence of proto-antibiotic and proto-resistance molecules in the prebiotic world is a significant challenge. The evolution of antibiotics and resistance is a complex process that requires further study. The development of new antibiotics is a pressing challenge in the face of rising antibiotic resistance.
