“…This distinction is important in the context of antibiotic resistance transmission and the potential for the development of multidrug-resistant or extensively drug-resistant bacteria. Antibiotic resistance has indeed become a serious global concern, and the spread of resistant bacteria through the food chain is one of the pathways contributing to this problem [83]. Although, isolated Bacillus strains may not necessarily harbor antibiotic resistance genes that can be horizontally transferred to dangerous pathogens, they can still exhibit natural resistance or insensitivity to a wide variety of antibiotics due to their inherent characteristics.…”

“…has shown excellent level of resistance to acidic pH value of 2.5% and 0.5% bile and one such previously conducted study indicated that all the 13 Bacillus isolates studied showed resistance to both acid and bile salts [19] [19]. In this study the isolate DUA4 has been found to form endospore which may increase the ability of tolerance to acid and bile salts.…”

“…Our results also agree with those on the resistance of Bacillus strains to bacitracin, published by Adimpong et al (2012) [ 27 ]. According to Adimpong et al (2012) and Compaoré et al (2013) [ 28 ], the resistance of specific Bacillus strains to particular antibiotics may be inherent or acquired and associated with the existence of resistance genes implicated in the production of resistance enzymes to these antibiotics. Conversely, the probability of passing on resistance genes to other dangerous bacteria is lower because of a natural resistance, rather than an acquired resistance.…”
