Profiles and natural drivers of antibiotic resistome in multiple environmental media in penguin-colonized area in Antarctica by Yongpeng Zhang, Bo Zhang, Imtiaz Ahmed, Hanshu Zhang, Yiliang He

“…Here, we evaluated the profiles of antibiotic resistome in multiple media on Inexpressible Island, Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica. Average concentrations of ARGs in intracellular DNA (iARGs) among water (3.98 × 106 copies/L), soil (3.41 × 107 copies/kg), and penguin guano (7.04 × 107 copies/kg) were higher than those of ARGs in extracellular DNA (eARGs) among water (1.99 × 104 copies/L), soil (1.75 × 106 copies/kg), and penguin guano (8.02 × 106 copies/kg). …”
