In Silico Evaluation Reveals The Potential Risk of Antimicrobial Resistance in Bifidobacterium

AbstractBifidobacteria have beneficial health effects for their hosts. However, they may acquire antibiotic-resistance genes. They may transfer antibiotic-resistance genes to pathogenic microbes found in the human intestine resulting in the emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. This study aimed to predict their resistance to antibiotics by analyzing the whole genome sequence. The entire genome data of Bifidobacterium spp. were obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). This study included five Bifidobacterium strains of human origin, five strains of animal origin, and three strains isolated from the environment. The genomic sequences were analyzed using ResFinder and CARD web service. Antibiotic-resistance genes were detected in Bifidobacterium spp. from all sample sources. Bifidobacteria were potentially resistant to various antibiotics, such as tetracycline, rifamycin, chloramphenicol, macrolide, lincosamide, streptogramin, and mupirocin-like antibiotics.

Abstract

AbstractBifidobacteria have beneficial health effects for their hosts. However, they may acquire antibiotic-resistance genes. They may transfer antibiotic-resistance genes to pathogenic microbes found in the human intestine resulting in the emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. This study aimed to predict their resistance to antibiotics by analyzing the whole genome sequence. The entire genome data of Bifidobacterium spp. were obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). This study included five Bifidobacterium strains of human origin, five strains of animal origin, and three strains isolated from the environment. The genomic sequences were analyzed using ResFinder and CARD web service. Antibiotic-resistance genes were detected in Bifidobacterium spp. from all sample sources. Bifidobacteria were potentially resistant to various antibiotics, such as tetracycline, rifamycin, chloramphenicol, macrolide, lincosamide, streptogramin, and mupirocin-like antibiotics.
