Accurately identifying genes responsible for specific functions is a cornerstone of biological research, but current methods are often limited to single-species analyses. Here, we present a novel method, called Genomic and Phenotype-based machine lea...
Rural domestic sewage has emerged as an important reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) under rapid urbanization, while the national-scale geographical patterns and risks of ARGs remaining unclear. We investigated ARG pollution in rural dom...
The coexistence of microplastics (MPs) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in various environments presents significant ecological risks. However, the influence of MPs properties and environmental conditions shaping ARG dynamics remain unclear. Th...
Microplastics (MPs) and per/polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), as emerging pollutants widely present in aquatic environments, pose a significant threat to human health through the horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)....
Disinfection has been applied widely for the removal of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) to curb the spread of antibiotic resistance. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is the most used method to quantify the damage of DNA thus calculati...
BACKGROUND: Antibiotics are essential for medical procedures, food security, and public health. However, ill-advised usage leads to increased pathogen resistance to antimicrobial substances, posing a threat of fatal infections and limiting the benefi...
Mannheimia haemolytica is one of the most common causative agents of bovine respiratory disease (BRD); however, antibiotic resistance in this species is increasing, making treatment more difficult. Integrative-conjugative elements (ICE), a subset of ...

Codon usage bias (CUB), the uneven usage of synonymous codons encoding the same amino acid, differs among genes within and across bacteria genomes. CUB is known to be influenced by gene expression and accordingly, CUB differs between the high-express...
BACKGROUND: Emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria is an important threat to global health. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are some of the key components to define bacterial resistance and their spread in different environments. Identific...
