Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the evolution of Antibiotic Resistance Genes (ARGs) in infants from 7 days to 4 months of age, examining how factors like microbiota development and feeding methods influence these changes.
- A high-throughput qPCR screening identified 45 key ARGs, showing that while the abundance of ARGs generally increased over time, mobile genetic elements decreased.
- Results indicated that microbial composition, mode of birth, and infant feeding practices significantly impacted the resistome profile at different ages.
