Shared species, strains and resistome between humans and pigs: A metagenomic analysis

Pig farming is one of the most intensive human–animal interfaces, and farm workers carry gut microbiotas that differ from those of non-farmers. Whether this overlap reflects genuine strain transmission or shared environmental exposure is unclear. Using shotgun metagenomics, we profiled the gut microbiomes of pigs at th...
