New online! Microbial genomics for antimicrobial resistance ecology and action
Microbial genomics for antimicrobial resistance ecology and action
Nature Reviews Genetics, Published online: 03 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41576-025-00909-zMicrobial genomics can improve our understanding of antimicrobial resistance dynamics across ecosystems. In this Comment, Kathryn Holt emphasizes the interconnectedness of human, animal and environmental health and calls for greater integration of microbial genomic data through robust analytical frameworks to unravel the complexity of antimicrobial resistance dynamics.
