Differential abundance of genes associated with antimicrobial resistance in infants with diagnosed lower respiratory tract infection compared with matched controls. Genes related to proteins involved in antibiotic efflux systems in the bacterial species related to gut dysbiosis, i.e., E. coli, Shigella ssp., Enterococcus ssp., Salmonella ssp., C. difficile, are more abundant in cases with LRTI compared to healthy controls at 4Â months. At age 6Â months, cases with LRTI have an increased abundance of genes related to K. pneumoniae. LRTI, lower respiratory tract infection
