In this comprehensive analysis of
antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)
distribution in the infant gut, Xuanji Li et al. show
that E. coli is an extremely important
reservoir of ARGs. We also reveal associations between infant gut resistome and environmental factors, gut microbiome maturation, and bacteria associated with later development of asthma.
