Characterising the metagenome and resistome of anthropogenic impacted aquatic environments.. Antimicrobial Resistance and the Environment-Sources, Persistence, Transmission and Risk Management (AREST)

The study relates to the use of deep shotgun metagenomics sequencing to characterize the microbiome, resistome, virulome and resistome of aquatic environments impacted by anthropogenic contamination. Specifically the study examines an aquatic ecosystem which is contaminated by the release of untreated sewage into the seawater.
