Metagenomic analysis of antibiotic-resistance genes and viruses released from glaciers into downstream habitats
Altres ajuts: the Fundación Ramón Areces grant CIVP20A6621 Glaciers serve as effective reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and viruses for millions of years. Climate change and anthropogenic activity have accelerated the melting of glaciers, but the patterns of release of ARGs and vir...
