Metagenomic insights into the human gut resistome and the forces that shape it

BioEssays, 2014
We show how metagenomic analysis of the human gut antibiotic resistome, compared across large populations and against environmental or agricultural resistomes, suggests a strong anthropogenic cause behind increasing antibiotic resistance in bacteria.

Gut Microbiome and Putative Resistome of Inca and Italian Nobility Mummies [PDF]

Genes, 2017
Little is still known about the microbiome resulting from the process of mummification of the human gut. In the present study, the gut microbiota, genes associated with metabolism, and putative resistome of Inca and Italian nobility mummies were characterized by using high-throughput sequencing. The Italian nobility mummies exhibited a higher bacterial

The honeybee gut resistome and its role in antibiotic resistance dissemination

Integrative Zoology, 2023
AbstractThere is now general concern about widespread antibiotic resistance, and growing evidence indicates that gut microbiota is critical in providing antibiotic resistance. Honeybee is an important pollinator; the incidence of antibiotic resistance genes in honeybee gut causes potential risks to not only its own health but also to public and animal ...

Influence of Eating Habits in Human Gut Resistome

2022
Anthropogenic activities create very expressive changes in nature, and these activities exert an important selective pressure on different microbial communities in the most varied environments. The use of antimicrobials is considered one of the most incisive forces concerning the selection of resistant microorganisms.

The Gut Resistome is Highly Dynamic During the First Months of Life

Future Microbiology, 2016
We investigated the longitudinal development of several antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) of the infant gut resistome during the first months after birth.Fecal samples from 120 infants collected at the ages of 5, 13 and 31 weeks were analyzed and subjected to qPCR for the detection of several ARGs.The prevalence of ARGs significantly increased for ...

Chlorothalonil drives the antibiotic resistome in earthworm guts

Journal of Hazardous Materials
Earthworms are recognized as carriers of pollutants; however, how fungicide residues affect microbiota and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in earthworm guts has remained unclear. In this work, changes in the earthworm gut microbiome and resistome were investigated after chlorothalonil (CTL) application. Earthworm activity accelerated the dissipation

Swine farming shifted the gut antibiotic resistome of local people

Journal of Hazardous Materials
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are prevalent in the livestock environment, but little is known about impacts of animal farming on the gut antibiotic resistome of local people. Here we conducted metagenomic sequencing to investigate gut microbiome and resistome of residents in a swine farming village as well as environmental relevance by comparing ...

Effects of biochar amendments on antibiotic resistome of the soil and collembolan gut

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2019
A diverse array of ARGs has been detected in the guts of soil fauna residing in farmland soil. Biochar has been widely used in farmland for soil remediation and improvement of soil quality; however, the effects of biochar amendment on the gut-associated ARGs of soil fauna remain unclear.

Uncovering the gut microbiome and antibiotic resistome of mammals on the Tibetan Plateau

Science China Life Sciences
The mammalian species on the Tibetan Plateau are diverse and abundant, yet our understanding of their gut microbiome and antibiotic resistome remains limited. Here, we used metagenomics to analyse the gut microbiota of 2,561 mammals from the Tibetan Plateau, covering 14 species across six orders.
