Fig. 2

a Distribution of prokaryotic pathogens carrying ARGs (pARGs) and Rank I ARGs (pRank I) across the global. ARGs carried by plasmids were excluded using geNomad28, and only ARGs carried by chromosomes were included. Color represented the relative abundance of pARGs (gray: not detected, orange 0–10 copies per 1000 cells, red >10 copies per 1000 cells). The points for the islands are not marked on the map. The shape represents whether or not this pARGs and pRank I are detected (solid squares: the absence of pARGs and pRank, hollow squares: detection of pARGs only, hollow circle: detection of pRank I). The log transformation was performed on copies / 1000 cells. The outer circle of the pie chart represented the proportion of sample points for which pARGs were detected, and the inner circle represented the proportion of sample points for which pRank I were detected. b The proportion of pARGs and pRank I. The outer circle of the pie chart represented the proportion of Rank I ARGs to total ARGs at the contigs level. The inner circle of the pie chart represented the proportion of pARGs and pRank I to total ARGs at the contigs level. c Overall characteristics of prokaryotic pathogens in soil, including ARG carriers and non-carriers, taxonomy (phylum), level of risk, and pathogenicity. Only ARGs carried by chromosomes were included. d The profile of pARGs. Rank I ARGs were highlighted in red. e The profile of pathogens carrying ARGs on chromosomes.
