Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the genotyping features of human fecal strains and the link between antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and multidrug resistance (MDR) in a Beijing district known for high rates of infectious diarrhea.
- Over three years, researchers isolated 94 strains from fecal samples, assessing antibiotic susceptibility and analyzing genetic data through whole-genome sequencing.
- Findings showed a high prevalence of MDR among the isolates, with similar rates in both diarrheal and healthy individuals, and the study suggests ongoing monitoring of ARGs and MDR is necessary for improving predictions and understanding the transmission of resistance genes.
Background: Birth weight is a strong determinant of infant short- and long-term health outcomes. Family socioeconomic position (SEP) is usually positively associated with birth weight. Whether this association extends to abnormal birth weight or there exists potential mediator is unclear.
