Resolving the Genomic Context of Clinically Relevant Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Wastewater with Ligation-Mediated PCR
Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a pressing global public health challenge. AMR is driven in part by the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) through bacterial communities via mobile genetic elements. Influent wastewater is a promising sample type for monitoring AMR because it pools biological inputs...
