Metagenomic Approaches to Analyze Antimicrobial Resistance: An Overview

Metagenomic Approaches to Analyze Antimicrobial Resistance: An Overview

Antimicrobial resistance is a major global public health problem, which develops when pathogens acquire antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), primarily through genetic recombination between commensal and pathogenic microbes. The resistome is a collection of all ARGs. In microorganisms, the primary...
