Tibetan antelopes harbor diverse antibiotic resistance genes, with 2,968 identified across 23 antibiotic classes.
Metagenomic sequencing produced 7,318 metagenome-assembled genomes from 68 Tibetan antelopes for analysis.
Unique antibiotic resistance genes related to specific species adaptations were found, including resistance to key antibiotics.
This study underscores potential ecological impacts of antibiotic resistance dissemination in wildlife habitats.
