PRO/AH/EDR> Antibiotic resistance – Norway: (Svalbard) NDM, High Arctic Region

Antimicrobial resistance -- Norway"Soils in tropical and temperate locations are known to be a sink for the genetic potential of anthropogenic-driven acquired antibiotic resistance (AR). In contrast, accumulation of acquired AR is less probable in most Polar soils, providing a platform for characterizing background resistance and establishing a benchmark for assessing AR spread. Here, high-throughput qPCR and geochemistry were used to quantify the abundance and diversity of both antibiotic resistance Read more [...]
