Infant age inversely correlates with gut carriage of resistance genes, reflecting modifications in microbial carbohydrate metabolism during early life

iMeta
The infant gut microbiome is increasingly recognized as a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes, yet the assembly of gut resistome in infants and its influencing factors remain largely unknown.

Dichotomous development of the gut microbiome in preterm infants. [PDF]

, 2018
BackgroundPreterm infants are at risk of developing intestinal dysbiosis with an increased proportion of Gammaproteobacteria. In this study, we sought the clinical determinants of the relative abundance of feces-associated Gammaproteobacteria in very low

Use and Misuse of Antimicrobial Drugs in Poultry and Livestock: Mechanisms of Antimicrobial Resistance [PDF]

, 2013
Food safety begins on the farm with management practices that contribute to an abundant, safe, and affordable food supply. To attain this goal antimicrobials have been used in all stages of food animal production in the United States and elsewhere around

Feeding systems influence the rumen resistome in yaks by changing the microbiome

Frontiers in Microbiology
The rumen microbiome serves as a reservoir of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) with significant implications for public health. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different feeding systems on the rumen resistome in yaks.

Bifidobacterial Dominance of the Gut in Early Life and Acquisition of Antimicrobial Resistance. [PDF]

, 2018
Bifidobacterium species are important commensals capable of dominating the infant gut microbiome, in part by producing acids that suppress growth of other taxa.

Riverine antibiotic resistome along an anthropogenic gradient

Frontiers in Microbiology
The introduction of antibiotic-resistant bacteria into riverine systems through the discharge of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent and agricultural waste poses significant health risks. Even when not pathogenic, these bacteria can act as reservoirs for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), transferring them to pathogens that infect humans and ...

Metagenomics reveals the temporal dynamics of the rumen resistome and microbiome in goat kids

Microbiome
Background The gut microbiome of domestic animals carries antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) which can be transmitted to the environment and humans, resulting in challenges of antibiotic resistance. Although it has been reported that the rumen microbiome
