Long-read metagenomics and methylation-based binning support the discovery of antibiotic resistance gene-host associations in complex communities.
By linking ARGs to their wider genetic contexts and hosts, the findings shed light on the previously unrecognized carriers of resistance genes in wastewater, and provides a valuable methodology for early identification of newly arising ARGs and their hosts.
