Oxytetracycline reduces the diversity of tetracycline-resistance genes in the Galleria mellonella gut microbiome
Abstract Background Clinically-relevant multidrug resistance is sometimes present in bacteria not exposed to human-made antibiotics, in environments without extreme selective pressures, such as the insect gut. The use of antibiotics on naïve microbiomes often leads to decreased microbe diversity and...
