These data are available (following period of embargo) from the European Nucleotide Archive via the individual sample accession numbers ERS9609044 to ERS9609063, submitted under the study ID PRJEB49546. Sample location data are provided at town/city, country level. Given the amount of time people spend indoors, residential environments are perhaps the most important, but understudied environments with respect to human exposure to microbes and other contaminants. Across our urban environments, anthropogenic activities (both current and legacy) provide for multiple sources and pathways for the generation and distribution of microbes, inorganic and organic contaminants within the home environment, yet we know relatively little about the potential for dissemination of antibiotic resistance in microbial communities within indoor dust.

Metagenomic library preparation was performed using Nextera XT DNA Library Preparation Kit. Sequencing was performed in-house (Northumbria University) using an Illumina NextSeq with a Mid-Output 300 cycle kit (150 base paired end reads), to facilitate a sequencing depth of 10M reads per sample. A negative reagent controls were included to ensure sterility throughout the processing and sequencing steps. Adaptor sequence trimming and quality filtering was performed with TrimGalore. Reads shorter than 100bp were removed in addition to sequences aligning to the human genome (removed using BBMap). After sequence filtering and quality control, a median/mean 4419820/4784250 sequence reads per sample remained.
