Inferring antibiotic resistance selection in the environment can be confounded by correlations between resistance genes and unrelated functional traits

2025-10-12

Abstract excerpt

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a silent pandemic that is coupled with other crises such as climate change in the polycrisis humanity is facing. One of the key questions is whether antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are selected for at the low antibiotic concentrations typical for most environments. Many studies have observed changes in the relative abundance of ARGs from one environmental compartment to the nex...
