Measuring Microbial Community-Wide Antibiotic Resistance Propagation via Natural Transformation in the Human Gut Microbiome
2024-11-29
Abstract excerpt
1) This work explored the role of natural transformation – a mechanism by which bacteria uptake and express extracellular genes - in driving antibiotic resistance propagation in the human gut microbiome. The model extracellular antibiotic resistance gene (eARG) – a plasmid containing a kanamycin resistance ( kanR ) gene and a green fluorescence protein (GFP) gene – was dosed into pooled and homogenized human stoo...
