DOI: 10.1007/s00128-020-03098-z
Abstract: Dissemination of antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs) from hospital wastewaters (HWWs) is facilitated by the horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and involves association of ARGs with mobile genetic elements (MGEs). In our previous study, HWWs were found to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00294-020-01104-9
Abstract: Bacteria and other prokaryotes evolve primarily through rapid changes in their gene content by quickly losing and gaining genes whenever an ecological opportunity emerges. As gene loss and horizontal gene transfer (HGT) appear to be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2018.09.013
Abstract: Livestock manure is a hotspot for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Solid-state anaerobic digestion (SAD) is a high efficiency livestock manure treatment, but the changes in ARGs and microbial communities during SAD are unknown. Therefore, thermophilic… read more here.
