<i>Bacteroidales</i> species are a reservoir of phase-variable antibiotic resistance genes in the human gut microbiome

2021-04-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Phase-variable antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) can mitigate the fitness cost of maintaining ARGs in the absence of antibiotics and could potentially prolong the persistence of ARGs in bacterial populations. However, the origin, prevalence, and distribution of phase-variable ARGs remains poorly understood. Here, we sought to assess the threat posed by phase-variable ARGs by systematically sear...
