Measuring Microbial Community-Wide Antibiotic Resistance Propagation via Natural Transformation in the Human Gut Microbiome

Nadratun N. Chowdhury, Samuel P. Forry, Stephanie L. Servetas, Monique E. Hunter, Jennifer N. Dootz, Joy P. Dunkers, Scott A. Jackson

This study demonstrates that extracellular antibiotic resistance genes (eARGs) can be taken up and expressed by gut microbes, promoting antibiotic resistance propagation through natural transformation.
