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.

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.

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 (

A Population-Based Surveillance Study of Shared Genotypes of Escherichia coli Isolates from Retail Meat and Suspected Cases of Urinary Tract Infections. [PDF]
, 2018 There is increasing evidence that retail food may serve as a source of Escherichia coli that causes community-acquired urinary tract infections, but the impact of this source in a community is not known. We conducted a prospective, population-based study
