Prophages as a source of antimicrobial resistance genes in the human microbiome

2025-03-20

Abstract excerpt

Prophages—viruses that integrate into bacterial genomes—are ubiquitous in the microbial realm. Prophages contribute significantly to horizontal gene transfer, including the potential spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, because they can collect host genes. Understanding their role in the human microbiome is essential for fully understanding AMR dynamics and possible clinical implications. We analysed al...
