Comparative metagenomic analysis shows distinct oral cavity resistome signatures in Thailand and Norway, suggesting local factors influence microbial resistance.
These results reveal distinct geographic signatures in the oral resistome that are not fully explained by microbiome structure, reflecting the influence of local ecological and societal factors, including antimicrobial exposure. The findings highlight the oral cavity as a dynamic ARG reservoir and support its inclusion in regional antimicrobial resistance surveillance to inform public health strategies.
