Abundance and diversity of resistomes differ between healthy human oral cavities and gut

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a global health threat. Here, the authors analyse the oral and gut resistomes from metagenomes of diverse populations and find that the oral resistome harbours higher abundance but lower diversity of antimicrobial resistance genes than the gut resistome.
