Comparative analysis of salivary antimicrobial resistance genes in dental students: A PCR and questionnaire study
The study revealed a high occurrence of AMR genes in the oral microbiome. Comprehensive metagenomic analysis is recommended to further evaluate the prevalence and relative abundance of these genes in the UAE population. Establishing a database for these ARGs could aid in effective future monitoring.
