From: Metagenomics of urban sewage identifies an extensively shared antibiotic resistome in China

Fig. 1

The overall profile of antibiotic resistance genes from urban sewages in China. a The number of detected ARG types and subtypes in sewages. b Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) analysis based on the abundance of ARGs (copy of ARG per copy of 16S rRNA gene) showing the seasonal variation of ARGs (Adonis test, P < 0.01). NMDS analysis was conducted using Bray-Curtis distance. c Relative abundance of ARGs presented as copy number of ARGs per bacterial cell. d The concentration of ARGs in sewages presented using the sum of copy numbers of detected mobile genetic elements (MGEs) and ARGs conferring resistance to a specific class of antibiotics. Mean ± SD; ANOVA; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01
