Widespread transfer of mobile antibiotic resistance genes within individual gut microbiomes revealed through bacterial Hi-C

2020-03-20

Abstract excerpt

The gut microbiome harbors a ‘silent reservoir’ of antibiotic resistance (AR) genes that is thought to contribute to the emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens through the process of horizontal gene transfer (HGT). To counteract the spread of AR genes, it is paramount to know which organisms harbor mobile AR genes and with which organisms they engage in HGT. Despite methods to characterize the bulk presence 1...
