Variation and prognostic potential of the gut antibiotic resistome in the FINRISK 2002 cohort by Katariina Pärnänen, Matti O. Ruuskanen, Guilhem Sommeria-Klein, Ville Laitinen, Pyry Kantanen, Guillaume Méric, Camila Gazolla Volpiano, Michael Inouye, Rob Knight, Veikko Salomaa, Aki S. Havulinna, Teemu Niiranen, Leo Lahti

“…Resistance was linked not only to prior use of antibiotics, as anticipated, but also to frequent consumption of fresh vegetables and poultry, two food groups previously reported to contain antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Interestingly, resistance was not linked to the consumption of high-fat and high-sugar foods, but was consistently higher in females and urban high-income individuals, who currently have generally lower mortality rates. …”
