Antibiotic resistance is increasingly recognized as a critical challenge affecting human, animal, and environmental health. Yet, dynamics transport of antibiotic genes (ARGs) microbial communities in karst non-karst leachate following poultry litter land applications are not well understood. This study investigates impacts broiler application on the proliferation ARGs (tetW, qnrS, ermB, sulI, blaCTX-M-32), class 1 integron (intI1 i), alterations (16S rRNA) within derived soils, which crucial...
Microbiome research is becoming a mature field with wealth of data amassed from diverse ecosystems, yet the ability to fully leverage multi-omics for reuse remains challenging. To provide view into researchers' behavior and attitudes towards reuse, we surveyed over 700 microbiome researchers evaluate sharing challenges. We found that many are impeded by difficulties metadata records, challenges processing bioinformatics, problems repository submissions. also explored cost constraints at each...
Animal manure improves soil fertility and organic carbon, but long-term deposition may contribute to antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) entering the soil-water environment. Additionally, impacts of applying animal on microbiome, a crucial factor in health fertility, are not well understood. The aim this study is assess: (1) conservation practices distribution ARGs microbial dynamics soil, runoff; (2) associations between bacterial taxa, heavy metals, indicators, manures, soils, surface...
