Background
Probiotics are live microorganisms capable of conferring health benefits to the host if consumed in adequate amounts. Due to their overwhelming health benefits, probiotic bacteria have been included in numerous foods, dietary supplements, and health products. It is well-documented that probiotics harbor resistant determinants that can through horizontal gene transfer, accumulate in commensals of the human gut or oral cavity and risk acquisition by opportunistic pathogens, thus rendering antibiotic treatments ineffective. This database catalog probiotic bacteria from various sources that have been reported to be resistant to antibiotics.
