Using metagenomic Hi-C data to discover broad host-range plasmids conferring antimicrobial resistance

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) trough plasmids is one of the main contributors to the rapid increase of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Studying wastewater from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) allows us new insights into HGT as bacteria from different sources come together. Currently the analysis of HGT is limited, as plasmids cannot be...
