Bacteroidales species in the human gut are a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes regulated by invertible promoters
Abstract Antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) regulated by invertible promoters can mitigate the fitness cost of maintaining ARGs in the absence of antibiotics and could potentially prolong the persistence of ARGs in bacterial populations. However, the origin, prevalence, and distribution of these ARG...
