Description
Gargi Joshi and coauthors review in 2026 how gut microbes both suffer harm from antibiotics and store the drug resistance those drugs breed. Gut microbes help the body digest food and stay healthy, yet antibiotic courses upset their balance. The upset community can then pass resistance traits to germs that cause disease.
The review covers what gut microbes do, how antibiotics throw them off balance, and how age, genes, diet, and immune health shape the result. Resistance genes move between bacteria by direct contact, by free DNA uptake, and by virus-like carriers. The authors also survey ways to read the full store of resistance genes in a sample.
