  • Organic fertilization co-selects genetically linked antibiotic and metal(loid) resistance genes in global soil microbiome (2024) · Nature Communications · cited 126× · doi

    Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and metal(loid) resistance genes (MRGs) coexist in organic fertilized agroecosystems based on their correlations in abundance, yet evidence for the genetic linkage of ARG-MRGs co-selected by organic fertilization remains elusive.

  • Genome-resolved metagenomics reveals co-selection of antibiotic and metal resistance in chronically polluted industrial soils (2026) · Frontiers in Microbiology · doi

    There is a lack of genome-resolved evidence from industrial soils on co-selection of antibiotic and metal resistance. Prior research has not fully characterized strain-level community composition and profiles of antibiotic resistance genes and metal resistance genes in industrially influenced soils.
