This study identifies bacterial NDH-1 as a target of metformin, showing it inhibits bacterial growth and carbohydrate fermentation, with implications for metformin's antidiabetic effects.

The paper investigates how metformin-degrading genes in transposable elements pose a new threat by co-selecting antibiotic resistance genes in environmental bacteria, endangering type II diabetic patients.

The paper investigates methyltransferases (MTs) in CPR genomes, finding they are primarily associated with restriction-modification systems for DNA defense and nucleotide scavenging rather than antimicrobial resistance.
