Abstract
The microarray technology is a convenient method which allows the rapid and simultaneous detection of several resistance genes. Thus, it is most suitable for complementing MIC determination of bacteria using phenotypical methods. Furthermore, silent antibiotic resistance genes, which might be turned on in vivo or spread to other bacteria, could be assessed. Especially in food and feed industry it is important that microorganisms used as probiotics and starter cultures may not contain any transferable antimicrobial resistance determinant. Within this project well-characterized strains of Bifidobacterium spp. and Lactobacillus spp. will be studied for the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes using newly developed microarrays. In this way more information about the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance determinants in industrially important bacteria will be received.
