The presence of antibiotic drug residues, antibiotic resistant bacteria, and antibiotic
resistance genes in agroecosystems has become a significant area of research in recent …

Although historically, antibiotic resistance has occurred naturally in environmental bacteria,
many questions remain regarding the specifics of how humans and animals contribute to the …

The agricultural ecosystem creates a platform for the development and dissemination of
antimicrobial resistance, which is promoted by the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in the …

We propose a simple causal model depicting relationships involved in dissemination of
antibiotics and antibiotic resistance in agroecosystems and potential effects on human …

Large quantities of antibiotics are used in agricultural production, resulting in their release to
agroecosystems through numerous pathways, including land application of contaminated …

Agricultural ecosystems are of special interest for monitoring the potential for antibiotic
resistance to spread through the environment and contribute to human exposure. Molecular …

Since their discovery, antibiotics have been instrumental in treating infectious diseases that
were previously known to kill humans and animals. However, their widespread use as an …

Antibiotic usage has benefited the animal industry and helped providing affordable animal
proteins to the growing human population. However, since extensive use of antibiotics …

Due to the mass production and extensive use in clinical application and livestock breeding,
antibiotics have been detected frequently in soil and water, where a range of abiotic and …

The World Health Organization has identified quinolones, third‐and fourth‐generation
cephalosporins, and macrolides as the most important antibiotics in human medicine. In the …
