Popis: Antibiotic resistance is widespread among different ecosystems, and in humans it plays a key role in shaping the composition of the gut microbiota, enhancing the ecological fitness of certain bacterial populations when exposed to antibiotics. A considerable component of the definition of healthy aging and longevity is associated with the structure of the gut microbiota, and, in this regard, the presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is critical to many pathologies that come about with aging.
