Wild animal oral microbiomes reflect the history of human antibiotics use

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.
