Succession and persistence of microbial communities and antimicrobial resistance genes associated with International Space Station environmental surfaces
Abstract Background The International Space Station (ISS) is an ideal test bed for studying the effects of microbial persistence and succession on a closed system during long space flight. Culture-based analyses, targeted gene-based amplicon sequencing (bacteriome, mycobiome, and resistome), and sho...
