To understand the contribution of animal- and human-derived fecal pollution sources in shaping integron prevalence and diversity in beach waters, 414 Escherichia coli strains were collected from beach waters (BW, n=166), seagull feces (SF, n=179) and wastewaters (WW, n=69), on the World Biosphere Re...
