Antibiotic resistance gene abundances correlate with metal and geochemical conditions in Scottish soils [PDF]

, 2011
The vast majority of antibiotic resistant genes (ARG) acquired by human pathogens have originated from the natural environment. Therefore, understanding factors that influence intrinsic levels of ARG in the environment could be epidemiologically ...
