Co-localization of antibiotic resistance genes is widespread in the infant gut microbiome and associates with an immature gut microbial composition

2023-02-19

Abstract excerpt

Even in the absence of antibiotic exposure, the gut microbiome of infants has been shown to contain numerous antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), but the mechanism for this remains unclear. In environmental bacteria, the selective advantage of ARGs can be increased through co-localization with genes such as other ARGs, biocide resistance genes, metal resistance genes, and virulence genes. However, this phenomenon i...
