We evaluated whether culture-enriched metagenomics (CEMG), with and without antibiotic selection, enhances ARG detection in anaerobic digestate and improves the resolution of ARG-MGE-host associations using hybrid short- and long-read metagenomic assembly. CEMG increased ARG recovery; mean ARG abundance rose from 15.4 counts per million (CPM) in metagenomic fresh digestate (FD) to 124 CPM in CEMG without antibiotics and 160 CPM in antibiotic-selective CEMG. In FD, only 9 unique ARGs were detected, whereas CEMG recovered 112, including ARGs of clinical importance, such as glycopeptide resistance, beta-lactamase genes, and the\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">cfr<\/jats:italic>\n                      23S rRNA methyltransferase conferring cross-resistance to multiple antibiotic classes. Antibiotic selection induced targeted, class-specific shifts in ARG profiles, with ARGs associated with tetracycline resistance consistently enriched across treatments. Hybrid metagenomic assembly resolved the genomic context of 784 ARGs, of which 59.3% were co-localized with at least one class of MGEs, predominantly plasmids and integrative conjugative elements\/integrative mobilizable elements. Biocide and metal resistance genes frequently co-occurred with ARGs on the same contigs. Together, these findings demonstrate that antibiotic-selective culture enrichment enhances resistome surveillance by improving detection of low-abundance ARGs, while hybrid assembly provides critical genomic context for assessing their mobility and host associations.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:sec>\n                      <jats:title>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:title>\n                      <jats:p>Livestock manure and its byproducts, such as anaerobic digestate, are recognized as important environmental reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) and resistant bacteria, yet current metagenomic approaches may underestimate this risk by failing to detect low-abundance but clinically relevant ARGs. Here, we show that integrating culture enrichment with hybrid metagenomics improves ARG recovery and reveals ARG co-localization with mobile genetic elements and putative bacterial hosts. This approach captures a cultivable and condition-responsive fraction of the resistome that is not readily accessible through direct metagenomic sequencing alone, providing a more informative framework for environmental AMR surveillance.<\/jats:p>\n                    <\/jats:sec>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1128\/spectrum.02472-26","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,3]],"date-time":"2026-09-03T13:00:51Z","timestamp":1788440451000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Optimizing a culture-enriched hybrid metagenomics pipeline to assess the AMR footprint of livestock manure in anaerobic digestate"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-9315-3907","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nahidur","family":"Rahman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02gfys938","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Department of Animal Science, University of Manitoba","place":["Winnipeg, Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7566-1696","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.
