Characterising antibiotic susceptibility and resistance in human commensal gut bacteria

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The human commensal gut microbiota can act as a reservoir of antimicrobial resistance genes that can persist and spread to pathogens. However, the extent and diversity of antibiotic resistance encoded by human commensal bacteria remains to be determined. Due to immediate clinical relevance and our previous inability to culture these commensal bacteria, the majority of research into antibiotic resistance has focuse...
