Metagenomic analysis reveals the shared and distinct features of the soil resistome across tundra, temperate prairie and tropical ecosystems

Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Soil is likely the largest reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), but their distribution across soil resistomes of different ecosystems is unknown. We used a metagenomic approach to investigate ARG types and amounts in soil DNA of three native ecosystems: Alaskan tundra, US Midwestern prairie, and Amazon rainforest, as well as the effect of conversion of the latter...
