Abstract excerpt
Antibiotics in landfills create selection pressures on the microorganisms present, selecting for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and antibiotic resistant organisms (ARO). The aim of this study was to assess whether landfills are hot-spots of antimicrobial resistance and whether landfills may contribute to global ARO diversity through ARG lateral gene transfer. Genome resolved metagenomic sequencing combined...
