In this study, we characterized taxonomic and resistome differences between single-timepoint-grab and 24 h composites of wastewater influent from a large UK-based wastewater treatment work [WWTW (population equivalent: 223\u200a435)]. We autosampled hourly influent grab samples (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=72) over three consecutive weekdays, and prepared additional 24 h composites (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=3) from respective grabs. For taxonomic profiling, metagenomic DNA was extracted from all samples and 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed. One composite and six grabs from day 1 underwent metagenomic sequencing for metagenomic dissimilarity estimation and resistome profiling. Taxonomic abundances of phyla varied significantly across hourly grab samples but followed a repeating diurnal pattern for all 3\u2009days. Hierarchical clustering grouped grab samples into four time periods dissimilar in both 16S rRNA gene-based profiles and metagenomic distances. 24H-composites resembled mean daily phyla abundances and showed low variability of taxonomic profiles. Of the 122 AMR gene families (AGFs) identified across all day 1 samples, single grab samples identified a median of six (IQR: 5\u20138) AGFs not seen in the composite. However, 36\/36 of these hits were at lateral coverage &lt;0.5 (median: 0.19; interquartile range: 0.16\u20130.22) and potential false positives. Conversely, the 24H-composite identified three AGFs not seen in any grab with higher lateral coverage (0.82; 0.55\u20130.84). Additionally, several clinically significant human AGFs (<jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic>\n                  <jats:sub>VIM<\/jats:sub>, <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic>\n                  <jats:sub>IMP<\/jats:sub>, <jats:italic>bla<\/jats:italic>\n                  <jats:sub>KPC<\/jats:sub>) were intermittently or completely missed by grab sampling but captured by the 24 h composite. Wastewater influent undergoes significant taxonomic and resistome changes on short timescales potentially affecting interpretation of results based on sampling strategy. Grab samples are more convenient and potentially capture low-prevalence\/transient targets but are less comprehensive and temporally variable. Therefore, we recommend 24H-composite sampling where feasible. Further validation and optimization of WBE methods is vital for its development into a robust AMR surveillance approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1099\/mgen.0.000983","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,5]],"date-time":"2023-05-05T16:18:33Z","timestamp":1683303513000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["High-resolution
