Nature Communications, 2023 Despite their crucial importance for human health, there is still relatively limited knowledge on how the gut resistome changes or responds to antibiotic treatment across ages, especially in the latter case.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2015 In recent decades, the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance among bacterial pathogens has become a major threat to public health. Bacteria can acquire antibiotic resistance genes by the mobilization and transfer of resistance genes from a donor strain.

Antibiotics and the developing infant gut microbiota and resistome [PDF]
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2015 The microbial communities colonizing the human gut are tremendously diverse and highly personal. The composition and function of the microbiota play important roles in human health and disease, and considerable research has focused on understanding the ecological forces shaping these communities. While it is clear that factors such as diet, genotype of

Abundance and diversity of resistomes differ between healthy human oral cavities and gut
Nature Communications, 2020 Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a global health threat. Here, the authors analyse the oral and gut resistomes from metagenomes of diverse populations and find that the oral resistome harbours higher abundance but lower diversity of ...

Food substances alter gut resistome: Mechanisms, health impacts, and food components. [PDF]
Compr Rev Food Sci Food SafAbstract Antibiotics are effective in treating bacterial infections, but their widespread use has spurred antibiotic resistance, which is linked closely with human disease. While dietary components are known to influence the gut microbiome, specific effects on the gut resistome—the collection of antibiotic‐resistant genes in the gut ...

Rapid resistome mapping using nanopore sequencing [PDF]
, 2017 The emergence of antibiotic resistance in human pathogens has become a major threat to modern medicine. The outcome of antibiotic treatment can be affected by the composition of the gut.

Identification of aminoglycoside and β-lactam resistance genes from within an infant gut functional metagenomic library. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The infant gut microbiota develops rapidly during the first 2 years of life, acquiring microorganisms from diverse sources. During this time, significant opportunities exist for the infant to acquire antibiotic resistant bacteria, which can become ...

A reservoir of 'historical' antibiotic resistance genes in remote pristine Antarctic soils [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Soil bacteria naturally produce antibiotics as a competitive mechanism, with a concomitant evolution, and exchange by horizontal gene transfer, of a range of antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

Tetracycline-like resistome of ancient human guts
Human Microbiome Journal, 2018 Abstract Tetracyclines were discovered over 70 years ago and their use resulted in the emergence of tetracycline-resistance microorganisms; however, it has been hypothesized that tetracycline-resistance may have originated in the environment, and that determinants were transferred to the human gut microbiota.
