Description
Samira Alipour and co-authors sample gut bacteria from bowel disease patients in Iran in 2024. Drugs of the quinolone class can aid care for these patients, but gut bacteria often resist them. Worse disease has also been linked to growth of a bacterial family in the gut.
Biopsies from 121 patients yielded more than a hundred strains of one key species. Most strains came from ulcerative colitis patients rather than Crohn's disease. More than half the strains resisted at least one quinolone in lab tests. The team also checked the strains for resistance genes carried on small DNA loops.
