“…Several studies, including reviews, have reported antibiotic resistant bacteria and their resistance genes in both healthy and unhealthy populations ( Forslund et al, 2014 ; Ho et al, 2020 ; Yokoyama et al, 2020 ). To date, several resistance genes have been detected, including those encoding resistance to the following antibiotics, among others: (1) macrolides ( ermB , ereA ), (2) aminoglycosides ( strA , strB ), (3) β-lactamases ( bla TEM ), (4) sulfonamides ( sul2 ), (5) trimethoprim ( dfrA14 ), (6) bacitracin, and (7) tetracyclines ( tetM , tetQ , tetW ) ( Ho et al, 2020 ). Antibiotic resistant bacteria detected in the human gut include the ESKAPE pathogens such as Escherichia coli , and Clostridium difficile ( De Oliveira et al, 2020 ).…”
