Linking the Resistome and Plasmidome to the Microbiome
2018-12-03
Abstract excerpt
The rapid spread of antibiotic resistance is a serious human health threat. A range of environments have been identified as reservoirs of the antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) found in pathogens. However, we lack understanding of the origins of these ARGs and their spread from environment to clinic. This is partly due to our inability to identify the bacterial hosts of ARGs and the mobile genetic elements that me...
