Transferable antibiotic resistance plasmids from biogas plant digestates often belong to the IncP-1ε subgroup

Transferable antibiotic resistance plasmids from biogas plant digestates often belong to the IncP-1ε subgroup

Manure is known to contain residues of antibiotics administered to farm animals as well as bacteria carrying antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). These genes are often located on mobile genetic elements. In biogas plants (BGPs), organic substrates such as manure and plant material are mixed and ferme...
