This projects aims to investigate the occurrence, diversity, and transformation of antibiotic resistant genes in the entire urban water cycle. Using the latest metagenomic and analytical tools, this project will enhance our knowledge on fate and transfer mechanisms of antibiotic resistance genes in the urban water cycle. Based on this understanding, an expected outcome of the project is the development of innovative technologies for efficient reduction of antibiotic resistance genes to have future applications for environmental, human health and economic benefits for Australia.

该项目旨在研究抗生素耐药基因在整个城市水循环中的发生、多样性和转化。利用最新的宏基因组学和分析工具，该项目将提高我们对城市水循环中抗生素抗性基因的命运和转移机制的认识。基于这一认识，该项目的预期成果是开发有效减少抗生素耐药性基因的创新技术，以便在未来应用于澳大利亚的环境，人类健康和经济效益。
