“Listed” (WHO-listed) represented Rank I ARGs that were reported to cause problems in hospitals and/or have been widespread on mobile genetic elements by previous literatures (highlighted in dark purple). “Unlisted” represented Rank I ARG families that were not reported in previous studies as high risk ARGs. “Homologs in Rank I” represented Rank II ARGs with homologous Rank I ARGs of the same gene family (highlighted in light purple). ARGs antibiotic resistance genes.
