Composition, Distribution and Mobility Potential of the Antibiotic Resistome in Sediments from the East China Sea Revealed by Metagenomic Analysis
20 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
Marine sediments are recognized as crucial reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, the antibiotic resistome in sediments of the East China Sea, an area heavily impacted by human activities, has not been thoroughly studied. Here, we conducted a systematic investigation into the antibiotic resistome in these sediments using metagenomic analysis. Overall, we detected eighty ARG subtypes and...
