Gut microbiota research nexus: One Health relationship between human, animal, and environmental resistomes [PDF]

mLife, 2023
AbstractThe emergence and rapid spread of antimicrobial resistance is of global public health concern. The gut microbiota harboring diverse commensal and opportunistic bacteria that can acquire resistance via horizontal and vertical gene transfers is considered an important reservoir and sink of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs).

Good microbes, bad genes? The dissemination of antimicrobial resistance in the human microbiome

Gut Microbes, 2022
A global rise in antimicrobial resistance among pathogenic bacteria has proved to be a major public health threat, with the rate of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections increasing over time.

Discordant transmission of bacteria and viruses from mothers to babies at birth [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND: The earliest microbial colonizers of the human gut can have life-long consequences for their hosts. Precisely how the neonatal gut bacterial microbiome and virome are initially populated is not well understood.

Impact of amoxicillin-clavulanate followed by autologous fecal microbiota transplantation on fecal microbiome structure and metabolic potential [PDF]

, 2018
The spread of multidrug resistance among pathogenic organisms threatens the efficacy of antimicrobial treatment options. The human gut serves as a reservoir for many drug-resistant organisms and their resistance genes, and perturbation of the gut ...

Antibiotics and probiotics impact gut antimicrobial resistance gene reservoir in COVID-19 patients

Gut Microbes, 2022
Dysbiosis of gut microbiota is well-described in patients with coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), but the dynamics of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) reservoir, known as resistome, is less known.

Exploring the Potential Influence of the Human Gut Microbiota on the Gut Resistome: A Systematic Review

Microbiology Research
Antibiotic resistance is a global health problem. The human gut microbiome is implicated in the dynamics of antibiotic resistance acquisition and transmission, with the gut microbiota thought to play a crucial role.

Temporal development and potential interactions between the gut microbiome and resistome in early childhood

Microbiology Spectrum
Antimicrobial resistance-associated infections have become a major threat to global health. The gut microbiome serves as a major reservoir of bacteria with antibiotic resistance genes; whereas, the temporal development of gut resistome during early ...

The Environmental Exposures and Inner- and Intercity Traffic Flows of the Metro System May Contribute to the Skin Microbiome and Resistome [PDF]

, 2018
The skin functions as the primary interface between the human body and the external environment. To understand how the microbiome varies within urban mass transit and influences the skin microbiota, we profiled the human palm microbiome after contact ...

Maternal gut and breast milk microbiota affect infant gut antibiotic resistome and mobile genetic elements [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2018
AbstractThe infant gut microbiota has a high abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) compared to adults, even in the absence of antibiotic exposure. Here we study potential sources of infant gut ARGs by performing metagenomic sequencing of breast milk, as well as infant and maternal gut microbiomes.

Characterization of Resistome in Lactobacillus Genomic Sequences From the Human Gut

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2022
Abstract The gut is a complex environment inhabited by a wide range of bacterial species. Lactobacillus species constitute a significant proportion of this environment, and, due to their mobile genetic elements such as plasmids and transposons, are more likely to acquire and transfer antibiotic resistance genes through horizontal gene transfer (
