class A beta-lactamase
Overview
The oral microbiota is a reservoir for antimicrobial resistance: resistome and phenotypic resistance characteristics of oral biofilm in health, caries, and periodontitis.
The study identified various antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in the oral microbiota, including mefA, msrD, ermB, ermF, cfxA, blaCSP(1), tetM, tetQ, and pgpB, which confer resistance to antibiotics such as erythromycin, azithromycin, penicillin, ampicillin, tetracycline, and colistin. These genes were found in multiple bacterial species and were associated with different resistotypes in healthy, caries, and periodontitis groups.
