Functional Cloning and Characterization of Antibiotic Resistance Genes from the Chicken Gut Microflora

A recent study using human fecal samples in conjunction with a culture-independent approach revealed immense diversity of antibiotic resistance (AR) genes in the human gut microflora. We hypothesize that food animal gut microflora also contain diverse and novel AR genes which could contribute to the...
