Popis: Diener, Hoge et al. show that a third of mice exhibit tolerance to a high dose of the β-lactam antibiotic cefoperazone, independent of antibiotic treatment duration or dietary phytochemical amendment. They find that non-responder microbiota upregulates antimicrobial tolerance genes and downregulates central metabolism without altering community composition or diversity, providing insights into the mechanisms of community-wide antibiotic tolerance.
