Effect of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on antibiotic resistance genes composition in mangrove sediments
Through field investigations, the effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on intracellular and extracellular antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in mangrove sediments were explored. Sediment samples were collected from typical mangrove habitats in Zhangjiangkou, Fujian Province; Qidao, Guangdong Province; Gaoqiao, Guangdong Province; and Dongzhaigang, Hainan Province, covering both dry and wet seasons.
