Genome-resolved metagenomics reveals the potential for selection for antibiotic resistance due to metal pollution in soil microbial communities near a copper-nickel mine site in Botswana

2026-05-29

Abstract excerpt

Waste mismanagement and metal pollution are high in countries in the global south and often create challenging, extreme conditions for soil microbial communities, which might lead to selection for antibiotic resistance. However, soils from polluted sites in Sub-Saharan areas are rarely sampled. Thus, it remains unclear whether the potential for dissemination of antibiotic resistance exists in these areas. In the p...
