MBRA can reliably mimic the intestinal microbiota and its modifications under antibiotic selective pressure. The impact of the treatment was donor- and concentration-dependent. We hypothesize these results could be explained, at least in part, by the differences in β-lactamase activity of the microbiota itself. Our results support the relevance and promise of the MBRA system to study drug-microbiota interactions.
