Figure Lengend Snippet: Differential abundance data analysis of AMR genes from samples sourced at WWTWs. Data were compared following stratification by season. Summer (included the months of December, January, February), autumn (included the months of March, April, May), winter (included the months of June, July, August) and spring (included the months of September, October, November).
Article Snippet: In total, significant seasonal abundance differences were found for only six AMR genes, which included: bla KPC-2 beta-lactamase gene (AY034847), bla KPC-34 beta-lactamase gene (KU985429), bla OXA-334 beta-lactamase gene (KF203108), all encoding resistance to carbapenems; bla NPS-1 beta-lactamase gene (AY027589) encoding resistance to beta-lactams; aac(6’)-Ib-Hangzhou gene (FJ503047), aac(3)-Ia gene (X15852), both encoding resistance to aminoglycosides ( , ).
