Background Little is known about the global distribution and environmental drivers of key
microbial functional traits such as antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Soils are one of …

The emergence, evolution and spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the
environment represent a global threat to human health. Our knowledge of antibiotic …

Antibiotic resistance is a global phenomenon with severe epidemiological ramifications.
Although the spread of antibiotic resistance is generally associated with selection derived …

Antibiotic resistance is ancient and prevalent in natural ecosystems and evolved long before
the utilization of synthetic antibiotics started, but factors influencing the large‐scale …

Soils harbor the most diverse naturally evolved antibiotic resistomes on Earth that threaten
human health, ecosystem processes, and food security. Yet the importance of spatial and …

Soil is a reservoir of environmental resistomes. Information about their distribution, profiles,
and driving forces in undisturbed environments is essential for understanding and managing …

Soils harbor the most diverse naturally evolved antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) on Earth,
with implications for human health and ecosystem functioning. How ARGs evolve as soils …

Background Soil is an important reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), but their
potential risk in different ecosystems as well as response to anthropogenic land use change …

Soil is a vital reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), but we still know little about
their distribution in cropland soils and the main driving forces. Here we performed an …

Abstract Knowledge of the dissemination and emergence of antibiotic resistance genes
(ARGs) in the plant rhizosphere is essential for evaluating the risk of the modern ARGs in …
