Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is recognized as a severe threat to human and animal health worldwide, yet relatively little is known regarding the bioavailability of AMR genes in airborne microbial communities. Hence, the objective of our study is to use next generation sequencing (NGS) to assess the temporal dynamics of airborne bacterial communities as well as functional metagenomics to investigate the dispersion of AMR genes present within them.
