“…It showed susceptibility to all clinically used antibiotics, except aminoglycoside (gentamicin, kanamycin, and streptomycin) (Isa et al, 2016). The probiotic E. coli Nissle 1917 strain is genetically stable and intrinsically resistant to clindamycin, erythromycin, metronidazole, penicillin G, rifampicin, and vancomycin (Altuntaş et al, 2017). The chromosome of probiotic E. coli Nissle 1917 NZ_CP007799 was detected with the resistance genes Penicillin_Binding_Protein, ampC2, and ampH (Fatahi-Bafghi et al, 2022).…”

Probiotics are widely used in different forms of food or food supplements due to their health benefits. Probiotics consumption has seen an increase over the years. The main species used in probiotic products are Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, along with other species such as Bacillus. Generally, probiotic microorganisms are accepted as safe even though they are resistant to several antibiotics. Some probiotic strains with intrinsic antibiotic resistance may be beneficial in regenerating gut microbiota during antibiotic therapy. However, the antibiotic resistance genes identified in probiotic microorganisms may carry the risk of the transfer of resistance genes to pathogens, raising concerns. For instance, tetracycline resistance genes have often been detected in probiotic organisms Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. The antibiotic resistance genes carried on mobile genetic elements create reservoirs for pathogen resistance. This transfer of resistant genes to opportunistic pathogens and their spread may pose great danger. Hence, the purpose of this review was to assess the presence of antibiotic resistance in probiotic microorganisms and the potential transfer of the resistant genes to pathogens or commensal bacteria in the intestine.
