This section explores the presence and abundance of a panel of antibiotic resistance genes in the gut microbiome, and compares that to healthy population. The resistome is the sum of antimicrobial resistance genes in your gut. High number of resistance functions in your gut will make pathogens less likely to be sensitive to antibiotics and may be an indication that virulent strains are flourishing.
