Dietary regulation on gut resistome linked with microbial amino acid metabolism in pigs.
Article in Animal microbiome, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Dietary protein plays a crucial role in shaping the gut microbiome and modulating intestinal amino acid metabolism. Gut microbiome is recognized as a reservoir for carrying antimicrobial resistance genes. However, the relationship between amino acids metabolism and antibiotic resistome remains poorly understood. Here, a pig model was used to study this relationship by comparing the impact of dietary casein hydrolysate diet with those of an intact casein diet. Metabolomics analysis revealed that casein hydrolysate supplementation primarily altered amino acid metabolism, characterized by significantly reduced levels of several amino acids, including tyrosine and glutamine, accompanied by increased levels of amino acid–derived metabolites. Metagenomics analyses indicated that these metabolic shifts were closely associated with microbial changes in the gut, particularly the genera Escherichia and Bifidobacterium. Consistently, microbial genes related to amino acid transport and metabolism exhibited higher abundances. Notably, the abundances of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) were significantly enriched in response to casein hydrolysate supplementation. Integrated metabolome–resistome correlation analyses revealed significant associations between multiple amino acids, including tyrosine and glutamine, and distinct ARG subtypes, indicating a tight coupling between amino acid metabolism and antibiotic resistance potential. Metagenomics binning and assembly further resolved the taxonomic origins of these functional traits. Specifically, in Escherichia fergusonii and Bifidobacterium thermophilum, genes related to amino acid metabolism, ARGs, and MGEs were co-localized on the same contigs with close genomic proximity. Together, these findings highlight a strong link between microbial amino acid metabolism and the resistome, suggesting that dietary casein hydrolysate reshapes both microbial metabolic functions and antibiotic resistance potential within the intestinal ecosystem.
