Antibiotic resistance genes occurrence and bacterial community composition in the Liuxi River

Antibiotic resistance genes occurrence and bacterial community composition in the Liuxi River

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment have paid great concern due to their health risk. We investigated antibiotics concentrations (tetracyclines, sulfonamides and fluoroquinolones), ARGs abundances (tetracycline, sulfonamide and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes), a...
