High fecal carriage of bla CTX-M, bla CMY-2, and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes among healthy Korean people in a metagenomic analysis

Abstract To characterize the carriage of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the gut microbiome of healthy individuals. Fecal carriage of ARGs was investigated in 61 healthy individuals aged 30 to 59 years through whole metagenome sequencing of the gut microbiome and a targeted metagenomic approac...
