| Abstract | Objective Many sections of the health care system are facing a major challenge making infectious disease problematic to treat; antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Identification and surveillance of the resistome have been highlighted as one of the strategies to overcome the problem. This study aimed to screen for AMR genes in an oral microbiota, a complex microbial system continuously exposed to antimicrobial agents commonly used in dental practice. Materials and methods As a significant part of the oral microbiome cannot be conventionally cultured, a functional metagenomic approach was chosen. The human oral metagenomic DNA was extracted from saliva samples collected from 50 healthy volunteers in Norway. The oral metagenomic library was then constructed by ligating partially digested oral metagenome into pSMART BAC vector and introducing into Escherichia coli. The library was screened against antimicrobials in dental practices. All resistant clones were selected and analyzed. Results Screening of the oral metagenomic library against different antimicrobials detected multiple clones with resistance against chlorhexidine, triclosan, erythromycin, tetracycline, and sodium hypochlorite. Bioinformatic analysis revealed both already known resistance genes, including msr, mef(A), tetAB(46), and fabK, and genes that were not previously described to confer resistance, including recA and accB conferring resistance to sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine, respectively. Conclusion Multiple clones conferring resistance to antimicrobials commonly used in dental practices were detected, containing known and novel resistant genes by functional-based metagenomics. There is a need for more studies to increase our knowledge in the field. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
