Ecological context structures duplication and mobilization of antibiotic and metal resistance genes in bacteria

2026-02-06

Abstract excerpt

Antibiotic resistance is a global challenge driven by the persistence and spread of resistance genes across ecological contexts. While mobile genetic elements (MGEs) facilitate horizontal gene transfer, gene duplication represents an additional mechanism through which resistance genes can be amplified, diversified, and maintained under selection. How these processes interact across environments remains poorly unde...
