Effects of Age, Sex, and Social Network on Antibiotic Resistance Genes in the Gut Microbiome of Tibetan Macaques (Macaca thibetana) [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe transmission and dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have increasingly drawn global attention. However, our knowledge of the antibiotic resistance gene pool in wild primates' gut microbiomes and its influencing factors remains limited.
