Conceptual framework for the role of plastisphere viruses in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes. Plastisphere viruses may act as hidden drivers of ARG dissemination by mediating transduction, broadly interacting with prokaryotes, and encoding resistance-related auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs).
