Assessment of Bacterial Antibiotic Resistance Transfer in the Gut

Figure 1

Schematic representation of the complexity of selection/development of antibiotic resistant bacteria in different known reservoirs. The possible routes of transmission throughout the environment of these resistant bacteria are suggested. The reservoirs where antibiotics are applied are also suggested as hot spots for horizontal gene transfer. AN: antibiotic treatment/pest control, adapted from [83].
