We identified 92 bacterial species, including 23 Firmicutes and one archaeon from Methanobacteriota, along with 69 unclassified strains. Single-cell sequencing effectively detected bacteria carrying antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), particularly in unclassified species, and traced the evolution of these genes across diverse bacterial taxa. Notably, the\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">cfr(C<\/jats:italic>\n                      ) gene was detected in 11 bacterial species following antimicrobial treatment, with mutation patterns characterized in\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Enterococcus faecalis<\/jats:italic>\n                      ,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Klebsiella pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n                      ,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Ruthenibacterium UN-1<\/jats:italic>\n                      , and four unclassified species. In total, 29 ARG subtypes across eight types were identified in 13 known, five unknown, and 18 unclassified species, allowing us to trace their evolution routes. In addition, we detected a total of 309 horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events, in which several genes like\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">folE<\/jats:italic>\n                      and\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">queE<\/jats:italic>\n                      were frequently involved. The products of these genes are known to enhance the ability of the recipient bacterial strains to repair DNA damage and maintain genomic stability, especially following prolonged antibiotic treatment. Comparison between isolated strain genomes (IS-KP1) and single-cell analysis confirmed the presence of at least two\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">K. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n                      strains in the patient, with one exhibiting a larger extent of involvement in ARG co-evolution.
