The global distribution and environmental drivers of the soil antibiotic resistome

In a new paper microbiomejournal.biomedcentra in Microbiome, Manuel Delgado-Baquerizo et al. analyze 285 antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in soils from 1012 sites across all continents and created the first global atlas with the distributions of topsoil ARGs. This work sets the foundations for understanding the ecology and global distribution of the environmental soil antibiotic resistome. #Resistome #ARGs
