Mobilization of Antibiotic Resistance: Are Current Approaches for Colocalizing Resistomes and Mobilomes Useful?

Mobilization of Antibiotic Resistance: Are Current Approaches for Colocalizing Resistomes and Mobilomes Useful?

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a global human and animal health threat, and predicting AMR persistence and transmission remains an intractable challenge. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing can help overcome this by enabling characterization of AMR genes within all bacterial taxa, most of which are...
