ObjectiveThis study analyzed the metatranscriptome of wastewater samples from different sites with a focus of identifying antibiotic resistance genes and the bacterial community. MethodsTwenty-four wastewater samples were collected from a hospital, university sewer, and the influent and effluent of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The metatranscriptome was sequenced to identify antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), mobile genetic elements, and bacterial community composition. ResultsMetat...
