Microbial diversity and antibiotic resistome in swine farm environments

Swine feedlots are recognized as a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, the microbiome and antibiotic resistome in swine wastewater and its impact on receiving environments remain to be further explored by culture independent metagenomics. We investigated the microbial diversity of swine wastewater and the receiving environments in three swine farms by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Metagenomic sequencing was utilized to further...
