Shotgun metagenomics reveals the microbiome and resistome of water harvesting ponds used by Kenyan rural smallholders

Abstract Water harvesting ponds are essential to smallholder farming across sub-Saharan Africa, yet their role in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) transmission remains unclear. Using shotgun metagenomics, we characterised the microbiome and resistome of 16 rural Kenyan ponds, detec...
