Widespread transfer of mobile antibiotic resistance genes within individual gut microbiomes revealed through bacterial Hi-C

Linking antibiotic resistance (AR) in the gut microbiome with their bacterial hosts remains challenging. Here, the authors apply bacterial Hi-C to map mobile genetic elements in metagenomes, and illustrate that genes are present in more diverse taxa in neutropenic patients than healthy subjects.
