Shotgun metagenomics reveals a wide array of antibiotic resistance genes and mobile elements in a polluted lake in India

There is increasing evidence for an environmental origin of many antibiotic resistance genes. Consequently, it is important to identify environments of particular risk for selecting and maintaining such resistance factors. In this study, we described the diversity of antibiotic resistance genes in a...
