Integrons in the Intestinal Microbiota as Reservoirs for Transmission of Antibiotic Resistance Genes

31 Mar 2014

Abstract excerpt

The human intestinal microbiota plays a major beneficial role in immune development and resistance to pathogens. The use of antibiotics, however, can cause the spread of antibiotic resistance genes within the resident intestinal microbiota. Important vectors for this are integrons. This review therefore focuses on the integrons in non-pathogenic bacteria as a potential source for the development and persistence...
