Bacteriophages limitedly contribute to the antimicrobial resistome of microbial communities in wastewater treatment plants [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Bacteriophages are known as players in the transmission of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) by horizontal gene transfer. In this study, we characterized the bacteriophage community and the associated ARGs to estimate the potential for phages to ...

The challenges of defining the human nasopharyngeal resistome [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2023 The nasopharynx is an important microbial reservoir for the emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant organisms. The nasopharyngeal resistome is an extensive, adaptable reservoir of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) within this niche.

Mobile resistome of human gut and pathogen drives anthropogenic bloom of antibiotic resistance [PDF]
Microbiome, 2020 Background The impact of human activities on the environmental resistome has been documented in many studies, but there remains the controversial question of whether the increased antibiotic resistance observed in anthropogenically impacted environments ...

Antibiotic resistome in groundwater and its association with mountain springs and river [PDF]
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023 The distribution of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in water sources potentially threatens drinking water safety. However, the sources of antibiotic resistome in groundwater are still under-investigated.

Resistome expansion in disease-associated human gut microbiomes
Microbiome, 2023 Background The resistome, the collection of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in a microbiome, is increasingly recognised as relevant to the development of clinically relevant antibiotic resistance.

Antibiotic resistance in chronic respiratory diseases: from susceptibility testing to the resistome
European Respiratory Review, 2022 The development of resistome analysis, i.e. the comprehensive analysis of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs), is enabling a better understanding of the mechanisms of antibiotic-resistance emergence. The respiratory microbiome is a dynamic and interactive

Modulation of the gut microbiome and resistome by antibiotic use, but not by subsequent 2′-fucosyllactose intake, in adults with overweight or obesity [PDF]
Gut MicrobesAntibiotics are widely used to treat bacterial infections, yet overuse and misuse causes disruption of the gut microbiome and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
