microbial composition in relation to the accumulation of antimicrobial resistance genes in urban water habitats. Bacteria

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) was employed to further highlight the microbial composition and ARGs distribution in the water habitats of urban residential regions, hospital surrounds, and natural wetlands. To further investigate the primary contributing variables of ARGs distribution in Wenzhou, China, the mNGS data were additionally connected with water quality parameters for static analysis. This study will enrich our understanding of MDR bacterial strains, ARGs, and their corresponding abundance and distribution in urban water habitats.
