ARGs distribution, relative abundance, and antibiotic resitant bacteria in the different water samples of Alicante. Number of ARGs shared by the different water samples: seawater (blue), Hospital (red), WWTP input (green), WWTP output (yellow), and untreated drinking water (brown) (A). For assembled data, different categories of ARG (conferring resistance to multidrug, MLS, tetracycline, and aminoglycoside) were found to be more frequent in Alicante’s water samples at two different protein identity thresholds (≥ 50 and ≥ 90%) (B). For assembled contigs, identification of the most abundant bacteria (> 1%) present in the waters of Alicante that had (at least) one ARG that belonged to the most common categories found in the waters of Alicante (C)
