Wild animal oral microbiomes reflect the history of human antibiotics use
2020-12-22
Abstract excerpt
Following the advent of industrial-scale antibiotics production in the 1940s, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been on the rise and now poses a major global health threat. Because AMR can be exchanged between humans, livestock and wildlife, evaluating the potential of wild animals to act as AMR reservoirs is essential. We used shotgun metagenomics sequencing of dental calculus, the calcified form of the oral mic...
