Open AccessScreening of global microbiomes implies ecological boundaries impacting the distribution and dissemination of clinically relevant antimicrobial resistance genes
Understanding the myriad pathways by which antimicrobial-resistance genes (ARGs) spread across biomes is necessary to counteract the global menace of antimicrobial resistance. We screened 17939 assembled metag...
