Dust storm-driven dispersal of potential pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes in the Eastern Mediterranean

2024-06-28

Abstract excerpt

The atmosphere hosts a microbiome that connects distant ecosystems yet remains relatively unexplored. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that dust storms enhance the spread of pathogenic microorganisms and whether these microorganisms carry antibiotic resistance and virulence-related genes in the Eastern Mediterranean. We collected air samples during a seasonal transition period, capturing data from 13 dusty...
