Toxicity Assessment of Nano-ZnO Exposure on the Human Intestinal Microbiome, Metabolic Functions, and Resistome Using an In Vitro Colon Simulator by Tingting Zhang (264633)

“…Although the diversity of the gut microbiota basically recovered after stopping exposure to nano-ZnO, SCFAs still showed a concentration-dependent decrease. Furthermore, although a medium concentration of nano-ZnO (2.5 mg/L) reduced the abundance of many antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) by inhibiting the growth of related host bacteria, a low concentration of nano-ZnO (0.1 mg/L) greatly enriched the abundance of tetracycline resistance genes. …”
