Freshwater snail faecal metagenomes reveal environmental reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance genes across two continents

2025-02-26

Abstract excerpt

The transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) from environmental microbes to pathogens is a critical but underexplored One Health driver of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Here, we evaluate freshwater snails, which are geographically widespread aquatic invertebrates, as environmental reservoirs of ARGs. We collected faeces from eight gastropod genera at 15 freshwater locations across Malawi, Uganda, Zanzib...
