Bifidobacterial Dominance of the Gut in Early Life and Acquisition of Antimicrobial Resistance

Bifidobacterial Dominance of the Gut in Early Life and Acquisition of Antimicrobial Resistance

ABSTRACT Bifidobacterium species are important commensals capable of dominating the infant gut microbiome, in part by producing acids that suppress growth of other taxa. Bifidobacterium species are less prone to possessing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes (ARGs) than other taxa that may colonize...
