Abstract
Culture-independent antibiotic resistance gene analyses enable broad explorations of microbial communities but often fail to link such genes to bacterial hosts and genetic contexts. This makes assessing prevalence of resistant pathogens and likelihood of further transmission or resistance evolution uncertain.
