The phrase "resistance element" is correct and can be used in written English.
It typically refers to a type of electrical component that provides resistance to the flow of current in a circuit. Example: "The electrical engineer installed a new resistance element in the circuit to regulate the flow of electricity."
Wallace, J. C., Port, J. A., Smith, M. N. & Faustman, E. M. FARME DB: a functional antibiotic resistance element database.
Farrow, K.A., Lyras, D. & Rood, J.I. Genomic analysis of the erythromycin resistance element Tn5398 from Clostridium difficile.
Generally, Mr. Sachs said, heat pumps generate the biggest energy savings when they are producing enough heat to warm the home without using the resistance element.
The Cdx2-sgRNA and Abl1-sgRNA sequence were cloned into the pLKO.1-TRC vector that contains a puromycin resistance element.
It detects temperature variations by means of a thermistor (an electrical resistance element made of a semiconductor material) and depends on a known fall rate for depth determination.
Mullany, P. et al. Genetic analysis of a tetracycline resistance element from Clostridium difficile and its conjugal transfer to and from Bacillus subtilis.
Strain identification: Fingerprinting of isolates of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the resistance elements should be conducted to establish relationships among members of the same species.
Several PLAs showed significant activity against these resistant strains by direct inhibition of the TMP resistance elements.
While analyzing contemporary TMP-resistant clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant and sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, we discovered two mobile resistance elements, dfrG and dfrK.
Enterococci are often multi-drug resistant, and are responsible for the transmission of various genetic resistance elements to other bacteria, including vancomycin resistance to other enterococci as well as Staphylococcus aureus[ 2, 3].
Thus, ESCREC may pose a threat both because of their direct potential for causing drug-resistant infections and because they can serve as vector of resistance elements for transmission to other pathogens or opportunistic microorganisms.
