Metagenomics as a Transformative Tool for Antibiotic Resistance Surveillance: Highlighting the Impact of Mobile Genetic Elements with a Focus on the Complex Role of Phages by Nikoline S. Olsen, Leise Riber

“…We emphasize the importance of monitoring mobile genetic elements (MGEs), such as integrons, transposons, plasmids, and bacteriophages (phages), in relation to their critical role in facilitating the dissemination of genetic resistance determinants via horizontal gene transfer (HGT) across diverse environments and clinical settings. In this context, the strengths and limitations of current bioinformatic tools designed to detect AMR-associated MGEs in metagenomic datasets, including the emerging potential of predictive machine learning models, are evaluated. …”
