Key Findings

The study identifies multiple AMR genes in Mucilaginibacter sp. 21p, including genes for resistance to quinolones, aminoglycosides, beta-lactamases, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, daptomycin, arsenic, zinc, manganese, cobalt, and cadmium. These genes are part of efflux pumps and other resistance mechanisms, indicating the strain's adaptability to metal(loid) and antibiotic stressors in contaminated environments.
