Do antibiotic resistance genes have a unit? Our new paper shares the thought on how to better quantify ARGs under the One-Health concept.

Thanks for highlighting.

We consider the commonly used quantification units (ARG copy per cell, ARG copy per genome, ARG density, ARG copy per 16S rRNA gene, RPKM, coverage, PPM, etc.) for profiling ARGs & suggest a universal unit (ARG copy per cell) 👉🏻 ⁦Tong Zhang⁩ et al pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Finally in Houston #ASMicrobe ! 🥳🥳🥳! I can’t wait to share my study #EngEnviron with you on Friday at AES-FRI-807. Looking forward to seeing you 😎.

#ASMicrobe Day2 So happy to share my phd study with you guys today 😄. Looking forward to your amazing works in the next two days 🤩.

#HKU Engineering leads drive for globally accepted measurement of Antibiotic Resistance Genes as part of push for standardised data across the international research community. Details at  pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…
