Soil warming increases the active antibiotic resistome in the gut of invasive giant African snails
The study underscores the complex interactions between soil warming and antibiotic resistance in the gut microbiome of the giant African snail, highlighting a potential escalation in environmental health risks due to global warming. These findings emphasize the urgent need for integrated environmental and health strategies to manage the rising threat of antibiotic resistance in the context of global climate change.
