Exploring the Environmental Resistome and Bacterial Novelty in Marine Isolates from the North Portuguese Coast
This study highlights the high bacterial diversity in marine environments, the striking prevalence of antibiotic resistance, and the major methodological challenges in studying environmental bacteria. Importantly, it emphasizes the relevance of culturomics-based approaches for uncovering hidden microbial diversity and characterizing environmental resistomes.
