Human microbiota drives hospital-associated antimicrobial resistance dissemination in the urban environment and mirrors patient case rates

Abstract Background The microbial community composition of urban environments is primarily determined by human activity. The use of metagenomics to explore how microbial communities are shaped in a city provides a novel input that can improve decisions on public health measures, architectural design...
