Multiplexed Target Enrichment Enables Efficient and In-Depth Analysis of Antimicrobial Resistome in Metagenomes

ABSTRACT Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) pose a serious threat to public health and ecological security in the 21st century. However, the resistome only accounts for a tiny fraction of metagenomic content, which makes it difficult to investigate low-abundance ARGs in various environmental setting...
