Discovery of Novel Antibiotic Resistance Determinants in Forest and Grassland Soil Metagenomes

Soil represents a significant reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which can potentially spread across distinct ecosystems and be acquired by pathogens threatening human as well as animal health. Currently, information on the identity and diversity of these genes, enabling anticipation o...
