Abstract

Overall, the study highlights the prevalence of antibiotic resistance in apple microbiomes. The presence of multidrug-resistance (MDR) genes further underscores the persistent threat of 'antibiotic resistance', underlining the necessity for deeper insight into antibiotic resistance within food chain.
