Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Xin-Li An"
- Xin-Li An's research primarily focuses on the environmental dynamics of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and their implications for public health, as demonstrated through several studies on composting, microbial communities, and pathogen reservoirs in various ecosystems.
- Recent studies highlight innovative methods for monitoring high-risk ARGs using a qPCR-based chip, as well as exploring the effects of hyperthermophilic composting on the elimination of antibiotics and ARGs, which indicates a potential pathway for managing antimicrobial resistance.
- An's work also delves into the interactions between microbial communities and environmental factors, such as the impact of fertilization practices on soil resistomes and the roles of protists and soil viruses in the transfer of antibiotic resistance, revealing complex ecological patterns critical for understanding and mitigating the spread of resistance.
