Analysis of Viromes and Microbiomes from Pig Fecal Samples Reveals that Phages and Prophages Rarely Carry Antibiotic Resistance Genes

The transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) has become a crucial health concern and understanding the process of transmission is important for human health. With the help of sequencing techniques, it is now possible to examine the contribution of mobile genetic elements towards the spread of ARGs. The spread of…
