Deterministic Effect of pH on Shaping Soil Resistome Revealed by Metagenomic Analysis
5 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Soil is recognized as the major reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), harboring the most diverse naturally evolved ARGs on the planet. Multidrug resistance genes are a class of ARGs, and their high prevalence in natural soil ecosystems has recently raised concerns. Since most of these genes express proton motive force (PMF) driven efflux pumps, studying whether soil pH is a determinant for the...
