Antibiotic resistance bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes survived from the extremely acidity posing a risk on intestinal bacteria in an in vitro digestion model by horizontal gene transfer

Abstract excerpt

Antibiotic resistance bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are emerging contaminants posing risk to human health. To investigate the pathogenic ARBs and the horizontal gene transfer (HGT) via both extracellular ARGs (eARGs) and intracellular ARGs (iARGs), an in vitro digestion simulation system was established to monitoring the ARB and ARGs passing through the artificial digestive tract. The...
