Abstract:Can we anticipate the emergence of the next pandemic antibiotic-resistant bacterial clone? Addressing such an ambitious question relies on our ability to comprehensively understand the ecological and epidemiological factors fostering the evolution of high-risk clones. Among these factors, the ability to persistently colonize and thrive in the human gut is crucial for most high-risk clones. Nonetheless, the causes and mechanisms facilitating successful gut colonization remain obscure. Here, we review recent evi… Show more
