Antibiotic resistance gene sharing networks and the effect of dietary nutritional content on the canine and feline gut resistome

Abstract Background As one of the most densely populated microbial communities on Earth, the gut microbiota serves as an important reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), referred to as the gut resistome. Here, we investigated the association of dietary nutritional content with gut ARG dive...
