Description
Deepika Pateriya, Anjli Tanwar, and Vineet Sharma profile the antibiotic resistance genes carried by human gut bacteria across many populations. The gut is a vast reservoir of such genes, which can pass to pathogens and blunt treatment. How that reservoir varies by country, disease, and body site was only partly mapped.
The team analyzed thousands of representative gut and oral bacterial genomes, plus stool data from over ten thousand people in fifty-eight studies, healthy and ill, including under-studied non-Western groups. Resistance profiles differed clearly between populations and between mouth and gut. Local prescribing and diet likely shape each reservoir. Global surveillance must sample beyond the usual Western cohorts.
