A prospective role for the rumen in generating antibiotic resistance
2019-08-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Antibiotics were a revolutionary discovery of the 20 th century, but the ability of bacteria to spread the genetic determinants of resistance via horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has quickly endangered their use 1 . Indeed, there is a global network of microbial gene exchange, the analysis of which has revealed particularly frequent transfer of resistance determinants between farm animals and hu...
