Bifidobacterium breve PRL2020: Antibiotic-Resistant Profile and Genomic Detection of Antibiotic Resistance Determinants.

ABSTRACT: Antibiotics are one of the greatest scientific achievements of modern medicine, but excessive use is creating challenges for the future of medicine. Antibiotic resistance (AR) is thought to cause changes in bowel habits and an increased risk of gastroenteritis, but it may also increase the risk of overweight, obesity, autoimmune and atopic diseases, and a low response to vaccines and cancer, likely mediated by antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis. Probiotic add-on therapy could partially prevent antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis, but their antibiotic sensitivity features likely limits this potential. The EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) guidelines consider the use of probiotics whose antibiotic-resistant profile could be transferable an important hazard. Recently, a strain of B. breve</
