| Popis: | Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are emerging contaminants that pose a health risk to humans worldwide. Little information on ARGs in bee honey is available. This study profiles ARGs in bee honey samples produced in China, the biggest producer in the world. Of 317 known ARGs encoding resistance to 8 classes of antibiotics, 212 were found in collected honey samples by a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction approach. Occurrence frequencies of genes providing resistance to FCA (fluoroquinolone, quinolone, florfenicol, chloramphenicol, and amphenicol) and aminoglycosides were 21.0% and 18.5%, respectively. Frequencies of genes encoding efflux pumps were 42.5% and those of destructase genes 36.6%, indicating that these two mechanisms were predominant for resistance. Nine plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes were detected. Of the nine transposase genes known to be involved in antibiotic resistance, eight were found in the samples examined, with |
