Anthropogenic disturbance promotes the diversification of antibiotic resistance genes and virulence factors in the gut of plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae)

The prevalence and transmission of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and virulence factors (VFs) pose a great threat to public health. The importance of pollution in determining the occurrence of ARGs and VFs in wildlife is poorly understood. Using a metagenomic approach, this study investigates th...
