Evaluating the mobility potential of antibiotic resistance genes in environmental resistomes without metagenomics
21 Oct 2016
Abstract excerpt
Antibiotic resistance genes are ubiquitous in the environment. However, only a fraction of them are mobile and able to spread to pathogenic bacteria. Until now, studying the mobility of antibiotic resistance genes in environmental resistomes has been challenging due to inadequate sensitivity and difficulties in contig assembly of metagenome based methods. We developed a new cost and labor efficient method based...
