Metagenomic and metatranscriptomic analyses reveal activity and hosts of antibiotic resistance genes in activated sludge

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are a source and reservoir for subsequent spread of various antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, little is known about the activity and hosts of ARGs in WWTPs. Here, we utilized both metagenomic and metatranscriptomic approaches to comprehensively reveal t...
