Gut Microbiome as a Source and Propagator of Multidrug‐Resistance: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies

open access: yesAdvanced Gut &Microbiome Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Human gut microbiome has risen as a critical nexus in the global landscape of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), acting both as a reservoir and a driver of multidrug‐resistant organisms (MDROs). This review explores the mechanistic foundations by which the gut microbiota contributes to resistance development, focusing on the acquisition and spread of ...

Comparative Genomics of Lactococcus spp. From Global Aquaculture Outbreaks Reveals Virulence Determinants, Antibiotic Resistance, and Phage Defence Mechanisms

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
Lactococcus petauri predominated in isolates from outbreaks of lactococcosis, suggesting a shift in disease aetiology. Genomic analysis revealed diverse virulence factors, prophage and resistance genes, while antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed uniform resistance to common antibiotics found in farming systems, emphasising the need for ...
