Metagenome-wide analysis of antibiotic resistance genes in a large cohort of human gut microbiota

The human gut microbiota is a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes, but little is known about their diversity and richness within the gut. Here we analyse the antibiotic resistance genes of gut microbiota from 162 individuals. We identify a total of 1,093 antibiotic resistance genes and find tha...
