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
