A preliminary investigation of major bacterial antibiotic resistance genes present in Australian fecal samples using shotgun metagenomics and targeted sequencing
2020-03-20
Abstract excerpt
The gut microbiota is an immense reservoir of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs); however, in Australia the profile of the gut ‘resistome’, or ensemble of ARGs, has not been investigated. This study provides a first preliminary mapping of the major bacterial ARGs present in human, domestic dog and wild duck fecal samples collected from south-eastern Victoria, Australia; and evaluates the use of shotgun metageno...
