Co-selection of Resistance Through Heavy Metal-Antibiotic Cross-Resistance Linkage

This research explores genetic linkage between antibiotic resistance and heavy metal tolerance genes, demonstrating how metal contamination in manure-amended soils inadvertently selects for antibiotic resistance co-localized on plasmids and genomic islands. The study reveals overlooked selection mechanisms and emphasizes multi-contaminant assessment importance in agricultural impact assessment.
