Beach sand beneath our feet: an overlooked reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes and pathogens, revealed by metagenomic evidence from Qingdao’s recreational beaches

2025-06-26

Abstract excerpt

Coastal beach environments, especially those with heavy tourist activity, represent a dynamic interface between terrestrial and marine microbiomes. However, beach sand is rarely considered in surveillance of antibiotic resistance. In this study, we combined 16S rRNA gene sequencing and shotgun metagenomics to characterize microbial communities and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) at four popular recreational bea...
