Functional Characterization of the Antibiotic Resistance Reservoir in the Human Microflora

27 Aug 2009

Abstract excerpt

Hidden Pockets of Resistance Groups of bacteria indulge in gene swapping at frequencies correlated with prevailing selection pressures and phylogenetic relatedness. When assaulted by antibiotics, antibiotic resistance genes become favored currency for exchange among bacteria. During sequencing of human gut microflora, Sommer et al. (p. 1128 ) found a very large reservoir of distinct genes that, when put into...
