      Objective - Many sections of the health care system are facing a major challenge making infectious disease problematic to treat; antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Identification and surveillance of the resistome have been highlighted as one of the strategies to overcome the problem. This study aimed to screen for AMR genes in an oral microbiota, a complex microbial system continuously exposed to ...

      The human oral cavity is one of the hotspots harboring multiple mobile genetic elements (MGEs), which are segments of DNA that can move either within bacterial genomes or between bacterial cells that can facilitate the spreading of genetic materials, including antimicrobial resistance genes. It is, therefore, important to investigate genes associated with the MGEs as they have a high probability of ...
