Fig 1.
Geographical distribution of samples clustered based on their relative MGE abundance profile. The maps are colored by the Climate zone. Clusters 1, 2 and 3, 4 are drawn on separate maps.
Fig 2.
Geographical distribution of samples clustered based on the abundance of ARGs.
Cluster 1 and 2 are shown on the upper map and cluster 3 and 4 are shown on the bottom map. The maps are colored according to climate zone.
Fig 3.
Number of ARGs or MGEs with significantly different abundance per cluster.
Only features with an effect size greater than 0.5 was included. Figure a, b summarize the number of features with a positive effect size, figure c and d summarize the number of features with a negative effect size.
Fig 4.
a Correlations between MGEs-ARGs and MGEs-genera. The chord width indicates the number of correlated features, a greater width corresponds to greater number of significant correlations. MGEs are amalgamated on type, ARGs on antibiotic class they confer resistance to and genera on phylum. b Phylogenetic confinement of MGEs. Average percentage of MGEs confided to a specific phylogenetic classification.

Highly disseminated MGEs based on the number of genera they correlated with.
