Despite its emerging significant public health concern, the presence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in urban air has not received attention. Here, we profiled relative abundances (as a fraction, normalized by 16S rRNA gene) 30 ARG subtypes resistant to seven common classes antibiotics, which are quinolones, β-lactams, macrolides, tetracyclines, sulfonamides, aminoglycosides, and vancomycins, ambient total particulate matter (PM) using novel protocol across 19 world cities.

Can mitigating only particle mass, as the existing air quality measures do, ultimately lead to reduction in ultrafine particles (UFP)? The aim of this study was provide a broader urban perspective on relationship between UFP, measured terms number concentration (PNC) and PM2.5 (mass with aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 μm) factors that influence their concentrations. Hourly average PNC were acquired from 10 cities located North America, Europe, Asia, Australia over 12-month period. A pairwise...
