Metagenomic evidence for co-occurrence of antibiotic, biocide and metal resistance genes in pigs

Metagenomic evidence for co-occurrence of antibiotic, biocide and metal resistance genes in pigs

Antibiotic-resistant pathogens constitute an escalating public health concern. Hence a better understanding of the underlying processes responsible for this expansion is urgently needed. Co-selection of heavy metal/biocide and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) has been suggested as one potential me...
