Shotgun metagenomics of total DNA isolated from intestinal content of wild and domestic animals
Our objective was to investigate and quantify the scale of the AMR phenomenon in several species of domestic and wild animals. We applied shotgun metagenomics of total DNA isolated from intestinal content of animals: turkeys, chickens, pigs, wild boars, foxes and rodents to explore the abundance of different resistance genes, and to examine bacterial and plasmid composition. We also looked at the possible diet of selected animals in the context of AMR spread.
