Metagenomic Analysis Reveals the Transfer of Antibiotic Resistance from Manure-Fertilized Soil to Carrot Microbiome
Q. YANG, Y. Xia, E. Topp, K. Yu
The paper investigates the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes from manure-fertilized soil to carrot microbiomes, finding that beta-lactamases are transferred via rhizosphere microbes despite limited plasmid-mediated resistance.
