The paper shows that microbial diversity in river biofilms predicts resistance to invasion by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, with higher diversity reducing the likelihood of establishment.

The paper investigates the drivers of antibiotic resistance in two Indian rivers, finding that untreated wastewater is the main source of ARGs rather than heavy metal co-selection.

This study shows that higher temperatures increase natural ARG abundance in river biofilms but accelerate the loss of invading wastewater-born ARGs.
