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.

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.
