Persistence of antibiotic resistance: evaluation of a probiotic approach using antibiotic-sensitive Megasphaera elsdenii strains to prevent colonization of swine by antibiotic-resistant strains.

PMID: 218217572011

Key Findings

The study identified tetracycline resistance genes tet(O) and tet(W) in Megasphaera elsdenii strains, which were experimentally validated to confer tetracycline resistance.
