The Universal Antibiotic Resistance Genes panel detects genes associated with resistance to the most commonly prescribed antibiotics for gastrointestinal infections. The mobile genetic elements in the panel can be found in a variety of different microbes. The presence of these genes in a bacterial population have been associated with moderate to high levels of antibiotic resistance in human gastrointestinal infections.
