  1. The latent (L) and established (E) ARGs are listed per type of antibiotic and gene class, with the number of ARGs in the reference database and the proportion of the ARGs detected in at least one metagenomic sample. The relative abundance and \(\alpha\)-diversity correspond to the median of the log-scale abundance and \(\alpha\)-diversity over all metagenomes. The detected percentage of ARGs corresponds to the number of genes that had a match in any of the metagenomic fragments analyzed divided by the total number of genes
