Antibiotic resistant genes from pathogenic bacteria are very well known, but what about those carried by commensals from our intestinal microbiota? we wrote a short narrative review on this topic, focusing on beta-lactamases (open access). www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Beta-lactamases in anaerobic, intestinal bacteria: a narrative review

Anaerobic bacteria in the human intestinal microbiota play a pivotal role in antibiotic resistance, primarily through the production of β-lactamases. …

Glad to share our work about the comparison between clinical metagenomics (CMg) and the good old 16S rDNA Sanger sequencing for bacteriological diagnosis. Our work shows that they are rather complementary.

Today at Bichat medical school we honour the work of Prof. Erick Denamur on E. coli. High-level and inspiring presentations, including from Imane El Meouche from our IAME unit.
