The gut microbiome is a reservoir for antimicrobial resistance genes, known as the "resistome." Resistance genes can be transferred between bacteria through horizontal gene transfer. Factors such as age, genetics, diet, and immune status influence the microbiome and Antimicrobial resistance (AMR / AR). Methods for resistome characterization include PCR, next-generation sequencing, and functional metagenomics. Therapeutic strategies against AMR include fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), [phage therapy](brain://wM0YbqAQf0CzqF5h…
