This study shows how mobile genetic elements synergistically drive the stepwise accumulation of antibiotic resistance genes in plasmids, proposing a framework to predict and surveil multidrug resistance.

This paper introduces a hybrid ARG surveillance method combining target-enriched metagenomics and qPCR to detect rare β-lactamase genes in wastewater.

This paper develops a CRISPR-enriched metagenomic method to detect antibiotic resistance genes in wastewater, finding it more sensitive than conventional methods.
