Aircraft lavatory wastewater surveillance for movement of antimicrobial resistance genes: a proof-of-concept study

Aircraft lavatory wastewater surveillance for movement of antimicrobial resistance genes: a proof-of-concept study

ABSTRACT Long-haul flight aircraft wastewater may serve as a representative microbial footprint, often of mixed country origin, offering valuable insight into the movement of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) on a global scale. Herein, we present a proof-of-concept for aircraft-based surv...
