Maternal gut and breast milk microbiota affect infant gut antibiotic resistome and mobile genetic elements

The infant gut microbiota has a high abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) even in the absence of antibiotic exposure. Here, Pärnänen et al. analyse breast milk as well as infant and maternal gut microbiomes, and show that some of the infant gut ARGs are transferred from the mothers.
