Amidst the global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis, antibiotic resistance has permeated even the most remote environments. To understand the dissemination and evolution of AMR in minimally impacted ecosystems, the resistome and mobilome of wetlands across the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and its marginal regions were scrutinized using metagenomic sequencing techniques. The composition of wetland microbiomes exhibits significant variability, with dominant phyla including Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Verrucomicrobia. Notably, a substantial abundance of Antibiotic Resistance Genes (ARGs) and Mobile Genetic Elements (MGEs) was detected, encompassing 17 ARG types, 132 ARG subtypes, and 5 types of MGEs (Insertion Sequences, Insertions Sequences, Genomic Islands, Transposons, and Integrative Conjugative Elements). No significant variance was observed in the prevalence of resistome and mobilome across different wetland types (i.e., the Yellow River, other rivers, lakes, and marshes) (R=-0.5882, P=0.607). The co-occurrence of 74 ARG subtypes and 22 MGEs was identified, underscoring the pivotal role of MGEs in shaping ARG pools within the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau wetlands. Metagenomic binning and analysis of assembled genomes (MAGs) revealed that 93 out of 206 MAGs harbored ARGs (45.15 %). Predominantly, Burkholderiales, Pseudomonadales, and Enterobacterales were identified as the primary hosts of these ARGs, many of which represent novel species. Notably, a substantial proportion of ARG-carrying MAGs also contained MGEs, reaffirming the significance of MGEs in AMR dissemination. Furthermore, utilizing the arg_ranker framework for risk assessment unveiled severe contamination of high-risk ARGs across most plateau wetlands. Moreover, some prevalent human pathogens were identified as potential hosts for these high-risk ARGs, posing substantial transmission risks. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of resistome and mobilome in wetlands, along with evaluating the risk posed by high-risk ARGs. Such insights are crucial for informing environmental protection strategies and facilitating the management of water resources on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.
