Phylogenetic barriers to horizontal transfer of antimicrobial peptide resistance genes in the human gut microbiota
The human gut microbiota has adapted to the presence of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that are ancient components of immune defence. Despite its medical importance, it has remained unclear whether AMP resistance genes in the gut microbiome are available for genetic exchange between bacterial species...
