Antimicrobial susceptibility of bifidobacteria from probiotic milk products and determination of the genetic basis of tetracycline resistance in Enterococcus species after in vitro conjugation with Bifidobacterium animalis subsp lactis

摘要

The study aimed at investigating the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles of bifidobacteria from fermented milk products sold in the UK that are claimed to have beneficial effects on humans, and assess the potential transferability of AMR to other bacteria.
