Open AccessCo-localization of antibiotic resistance genes is widespread in the infant gut microbiome and associates with an immature gut microbial composition
In environmental bacteria, the selective advantage of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) can be increased through co-localization with genes such as other ARGs, biocide resistance genes, metal resistance genes...

Open AccessExpanding known viral diversity in the healthy infant gut
The gut microbiome is shaped through infancy and impacts the maturation of the immune system, thus protecting against chronic disease later in life. Phages, or viruses that infect bacteria, modulate bacterial ...

Archaeal Type II Toxin-Antitoxins
A few of the bacterial type II TA systems, primarily those involved in translational inhibition, occur widely throughout the archaeal domain. Using a bioinformatic approach, the frequency and distribution of t...
