Clinically relevant antibiotic resistance genes are linked to a limited set of taxa within gut microbiome worldwide
Abstract The acquisition of antimicrobial resistance (AR) genes has rendered important pathogens nearly or fully unresponsive to antibiotics. It has been suggested that pathogens acquire AR traits from the gut microbiota, which collectively serve as a global reservoir for AR genes conferring resista...
