Environmental microbiome diversity and stability is a barrier to antimicrobial resistance gene accumulation

Abstract When antimicrobial resistant bacteria (ARB) and genes (ARGs) reach novel habitats, they can become part of the habitat’s microbiome in the long term if they are able to overcome the habitat’s biotic resilience towards immigration. This process should become more difficult with increasing bi...
