• Antibiotic resistance (referred to herein as "AbxR") is a growing global public health issue. Resistance to all classes of antibiotics has been reported in all parts of the world (2014, Antimicrobial Resistance, Global Report on Surveillance, Summary, WHO) and development of conventional antibiotics has been relatively slow compared to the demand. For example, no new classes of antibiotics have been commercialized since the discovery of the lipopeptide antibiotic daptomycin in the 1980s. Furthermore, antibiotic stewardship programs that limit antibiotic use do not immediately reverse the trend of increasing resistance.
• compositions comprising bacteria, for example, spore-former bacteria derived from a healthy human, can reduce the abundance of AbxR genes (collectively, the "gut resistome") in a human subject.
• Such compositions are referred to herein as reduction of antibiotic resistance compositions (ROAR compositions).

• quinolones including carbapenems

• tetracyclines e.g., tetracyclines.
• non-pathogenic commensals can harbor antibiotic resistance genes, and treatment results in a decrease in the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in non-pathogenic commensal organisms.
• these data support a method of decreasing the presence of antibiotic resistance genes by, at least in part, a mechanism of decreasing horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes from non-pathogenic commensal organisms to pathogenic bacteria.
• Such a mechanism could be related at least in part to decreasing the abundance of bacteria harboring antibiotic resistance genes by out-competing these bacteria for nutrients; decreasing the abundance of bacteria harboring antibiotic resistance genes by inducing a response in the host that limits the growth of potential pathogens harboring AbxR genes; decreasing the abundance of bacteria harboring antibiotic resistance genes by introducing bacteria that are directly antagonistic to potential pathogens harboring AbxR genes; reducing opportunistic pathogens, and/or decreasing the potential for the spread of antibiotic resistance genes between antibiotic resistant and susceptible organisms.
• the decrease in the presence of antibiotic resistance genes occurs by reducing colonization in the host of microbes that harbor AbxR genes.
• a ROAR composition is used to break or prevent an antibiotic resistance transmission cycle.
• a ROAR composition can be administered to a subject entering an environment in which there is a risk of an antibiotic resistance cycle or an environment in which the existence of an antibiotic resistance cycle has been identified, e.g., an environment in which antibiotic resistance has been identified as spreading or in which there is a risk of such spreading. Examples of such environments include hospitals, intensive care units, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, group homes, and the like.
• the dosing in such an environment is chronic.
• a subject is treated to prevent or reduce colonization by one or more AbxR genes.
• a composition in a subject that harbors one or more AbxR genes, can be administered, thereby reducing the risk of AbxR infection in that subject and reducing the risk that subject will transmit AbxR genes after treatment of C. difficile disease, as such subjects may be susceptible to infection with or harbor antibiotic resistant bacteria.
• a composition is administered to workers in environments in which there is a particular risk associated with spreading AbxR genes.

• a “therapeutically effective amount" of a composition described herein can vary according to factors such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of the individual, and the ability of the composition to elicit a desired response in the individual, e.g., amelioration of at least one disorder parameter, or amelioration of at least one symptom of the disorder (and optionally, the effect of any additional agents being administered).
• a therapeutically effective amount is also one in which any toxic or detrimental effects of the composition are outweighed by the therapeutically beneficial effects.
• a composition as described herein is generally administered in a therapeutically effective amount.
• ROAR compositions e.g., designed Abx compositions
• compositions are formulated for oral, colonoscopic, or nasogastric delivery although any appropriate method can be used.
• a ROAR formulation can contain one or more pharmaceutical excipients suitable for the preparation or delivery of such formulations.
• the formulation is a liquid formulation.
• a formulation comprising a ROAR composition can comprise one or more of surfactants, adjuvants, buffers, antioxidants, tonicity adjusters, thickeners, viscosity modifiers, and the like.
• treatment includes administering a ROAR composition in a formulation that includes a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
• the excipient includes a capsule or other format suitable for providing the ROAR composition as an oral dosage form.
• an excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle, carrier, or medium for the active ingredient.
• the formulations can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, soft or hard capsules, suppositories, or packaged powders.
• excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate,
• compositions can be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained, or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the patient by employing procedures known in the art.
• a ROAR composition can be formulated in a unit dosage form.
• a dosage comprises about 10e2 to 10e9 viable colony forming units (cfu).
• the ROAR compositions comprises or is composed of spore-former bacteria in spore form.
• the dosage may be determined as "spore CFU” or "sCFU", which quantify the number of viable spores by germination and growth, typically on plates.
• unit dosage forms refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and/or other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce a desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable
• a dosage may be administered in multiple delivery vehicles, e.g., multiple pills or capsules.
• compositions can be administered to a patient already suffering from a disease in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest one or more symptoms of the disease or its complications. Effective doses will depend on the disease or condition being treated, as well as by the judgment of the attending clinician, depending upon factors such as the severity of the disease, the age, weight, and general condition of the patient, and the like.
• the dosage can refer, for example, to the total number of cfus of each individual species or strains, or can refer to the total number of microorganisms in the dose. It is understood in the art that determining the number of organisms in a dosage is not exact and can depend on the method used to determine the number of organisms present. For example, the number of spores in a composition may be determined using a dipicolinic acid assay. In some cases, the number of organisms may be determined using a culture assay. When spores are present, the ability of assays relying on culture methods can depend on efficient germination of spores.
• Quantitative nucleic acid-based methods can depend on whether the nucleic acids from non-viable microorganisms are sufficiently reduced or eliminated. Effective doses can be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems.
• the invention also provides methods for identifying bacterial compositions that can be used to decrease the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in subjects.
• candidate compositions are analyzed for the presence of one or more bacterial species of Table 3. Detection of one or more (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, or more) of these species indicates that the composition may be useful in decreasing the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes. Additional testing can be done to further screen candidate compositions.
• candidate compositions can further be analyzed for the presence of one or more species of Table 4. In some embodiments, it may be determined that it is preferable to avoid use of compositions identified as including one or more (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, or more) species of Table 4.
• potential donors of feces for use in therapeutic methods are screened for their suitability to serve as donors.
• a fecal sample of a potential donor is screened for the presence of one or more bacterial species associated with decreased antibiotic resistance genes (see, e.g., Table 3; see Table 5 for sequences) and/or one or more bacterial species correlated with the presence of antibiotic resistance genes (see, e.g., Table 4; see Table 6 for sequences). Detection of the former may indicate that the potential donor is suitable to proceed to serve as a donor, while detection of the latter may indicate that the potential donor should not proceed, as can be determined by those of skill in the art.
• Additional screening methods include those used to determine whether a subject may benefit from treatment with a ROAR composition, as described herein.
• a sample from the subject e.g., a fecal sample
• a sample from the subject is tested for the presence of one or more bacterial species correlated with the presence of antibiotic resistance genes (see, e.g., Tables 4 and 6). Detection of one or more of these species can indicate that the subject may benefit from treatment according to the therapeutic methods of the invention, as can be determined by those of skill in the art.
• Detection of species in these methods of the invention can be carried out using methods that are known in the art (see, e.g., above and elsewhere herein). For example, methods including, for example, qPCR, whole metagenomics shotgun sequencing (WMS; see, e.g., below), and/or analysis of 16S rDNA sequences or a portion thereof (e.g., the V4 and/or V6 regions; see, e.g., Table 5) can be performed. Sequences from Table 5 can be detected with respect to the identification of negative correlates (i.e., reduction in antibiotic resistance genes). Sequences from Table 6 can be detected with respect to the identification of positive correlates (i.e., increased abundance of antibiotic resistance genes).
• WMS whole metagenomics shotgun sequencing
• V6 regions see, e.g., Table 5
