Driven by the growing demand for food products of animal origin, industrial livestock and
poultry production has become increasingly popular and is on the track of becoming an …

A metagenomic approach and network analysis was used to investigate the wide-spectrum
profiles of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and their co-occurrence patterns in 50 …

Many analyses of the human gut microbiome depend on a catalog of reference genes.
Existing catalogs for the human gut microbiome are based on samples from single cohorts …

Shotgun metagenomic analysis of the human associated microbiome provides a rich set of
microbial features for prediction and biomarker discovery in the context of human diseases …

Metagenomic studies have shown that antibiotic resistance genes are ubiquitous in the
environment, which has led to the suggestion that there is a high risk that these genes will …

Antibiotic-resistant infections annually claim hundreds of thousands of lives worldwide. This
problem is exacerbated by exchange of resistance genes between pathogens and benign …

Background Soil bacteria naturally produce antibiotics as a competitive mechanism, with a
concomitant evolution, and exchange by horizontal gene transfer, of a range of antibiotic …

Currently, the effects of high antibiotic concentrations on the performance of microbiota and
antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in activated sludge (AS) process are not well …

Abstract Background Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are widespread but cause
problems only when present in pathogens. Environments where selection and transmission …
