Overview

Yvonne Agersø is affiliated with the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Their research primarily addresses topics related to antibiotic resistance in bacteria, probiotics and fermented foods, pharmaceutical and antibiotic environmental impacts, Enterobacteriaceae and Cronobacter research, gut microbiota and health, Bacillus and Francisella bacterial research, and bacteriophages and microbial interactions.

Their work spans several fields including Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, with a total of seven publications; Environmental Science, with three publications; and subfields such as Molecular Medicine, Molecular Biology, Food Science, Pollution, and Endocrinology.

Yvonne Agersø has published regularly in prominent scientific journals. Frequent publication venues include Frontiers in Microbiology, with three publications, and Frontiers in Antibiotics, with one publication.

Recent research papers include:

  • The Tetracycline Resistance Gene, tet(W) in Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis Follows Phylogeny and Differs From tet(W) in Other Species, 2021, Frontiers in Microbiology
  • Intrinsic tet(L) sub-class in Bacillus velezensis and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is associated with a reduced susceptibility toward tetracycline, 2022, Frontiers in Microbiology
