Small and equipped: the rich repertoire of antibiotic resistance genes in Candidate Phyla Radiation genomes

Abstract: Microbes belonging to Candidate Phyla Radiation (CPR) have joined the tree of life as a new unique branch, thanks to the intensive application of metagenomics and advances of sequencing technologies. Despite their ultra-small size, reduced genome and metabolic pathways which mainly depend on symbiotic/exo-parasitic relationship with their bacterial host, CPR microbes are abundant and ubiquitous in almost all environments and are consequently survivors in highly competitive circumstances within microbial commun… Show more

“…We did not find any nonribosomal peptide synthetase/polyketide synthase (NRPS/PKS) clusters or insertion sequences in either genome. In addition, according to Maatouk et al, we applied the same adapted strategy to predict the antibiotic resistance genes in these genomes ( 15 ). “ Ca .…”

“…Likewise, we found resistance genes for glycopeptide, tetracycline, and macrolides-lincosamides-streptogramin in the “ Ca . Minimicrobia vallesae” genome ( 15 ). Finally, for the pilus secretion systems, we found type II, IV, and VI pilus secretion systems in both genomes and type I in “ Ca .…”

“…Although Patescibacteria have been identified in oligotrophic environments [57,58] with carbon and/or nutrient limitations similar to those observed for GFSs, it is plausible that their ability to survive with minimal biosynthetic and metabolic pathways may indeed depend on the expression of BGCs and AMR. At the time of writing, a preprint by Maatouk et al [59], described the presence of ARGs across publicly available CPR bacterial genomes.…”
