Microorganisms associated with plants may alter the traits of the human microbiome important for human health, but this alteration has largely been overlooked. The plant microbiome is an interface between plants and the environment, and provides many ecosystem functions such as improving nutrient uptake and protecting against biotic and abiotic stress. The plant microbiome also represents a major pathway by which humans are exposed to microbes and genes consumed with food, such as pathogenic bacteria, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and antibiotic-resistance genes. In this review we highlight the main findings on the composition and function of the plant microbiome, and underline the potential of plant microbiomes in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance via food consumption or direct contact.
与植物相关的微生物可能会改变对人类健康很重要的人类微生物组的特征，但这种改变在很大程度上被忽视了。植物微生物组是植物与环境之间的界面，提供了许多生态系统功能，如改善养分吸收和抵御生物和非生物胁迫。植物微生物组也是人类通过食物接触微生物和基因的主要途径，如致病菌、抗生素耐药菌和抗生素耐药基因。在这篇综述中，我们强调了植物微生物组的组成和功能的主要发现，并强调了植物微生物组通过食物消费或直接接触传播抗生素耐药性的潜力。
