Abundance of clinically relevant antimicrobial resistance genes in the golden jackal ( <i>Canis aureus</i> ) gut
The research highlights the potential role of the golden jackals as reservoirs for antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The high prevalence of clinically relevant AMR genes in these jackals emphasizes the need for ongoing surveillance and monitoring to better understand AMR transmission dynamics at the wildlife-human interface.
