Geographic patterns of antibiotic resistance in the human gut microbiome: insights from metagenome-assembled genomes across four Chinese provinces

Next-generation metagenomic sequencing has substantially advanced our understanding of the human intestinal microbiome. Many commensal microbes in the human gut carry a wide array of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), collectively forming the gut-associated resistome. In this study, we investigated...
