Abstract
⺠Estuary was the major source of antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) for tidal creeks. ⺠Watersheds were the secondary source of ARG for tidal creeks. ⺠Watershed contribution corresponded to the degree of its anthropogenic disturbance. ⺠ARG in tidal creeks were carried by native hosts preferring low termohaline niches. ⺠ARG incidence was the highest in oysters implying ARG bioaccumulation/proliferation.
