A Comparative Assessment of High-Throughput Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction versus Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing in Sediment Resistome Profiling

A Comparative Assessment of High-Throughput Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction versus Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing in Sediment Resistome Profiling

Prolonged and excessive use of antibiotics has resulted in the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which is considered an emerging global challenge that warrants a deeper understanding of the antibiotic-resistant gene elements (ARGEs/resistomes) involved in its rapid dissemination. Curren...
