Expanding the β‐Lactamase Family in the Human Microbiome
Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 46, December 11, 2024.β‐lactam resistance is mainly driven by β‐lactamases. The study analyzes 1369 characterized and 16 204 putative β‐lactamases, identifying nine from eight clusters. The highest gut β‐lactamase abundance is found in Japan and the lowest in Fiji. β‐lactamase levels correlate with β‐lactam use and income, increasing in colorectal cancer and cardiovascular ...
