Analysis of viromes and microbiomes from pig fecal samples reveals that phages and prophages are not vectors of antibiotic resistance genes

M. Billaud, Q. Lamy-Besnier, J. Lossouarn, E. Moncaut, M. B. Dion, S. Moineau, F. Traore, E. Le Chatelier, C. Denis, J. Estelle, C. Achard, O. Zemb, M.-A. Petit

The paper analyzes viromes and microbiomes from pig fecal samples to determine if phages or prophages carry antibiotic resistance genes, finding that ARGs are absent from active phages but present in prophages not detected in viromes.
