The release of antibiotics to the environment, and the consequences of the presence of
persistent antimicrobial residues in ecosystems, have been the subject of numerous studies …

This paper reviews current knowledge on sources, spread and removal mechanisms of
antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in microbial communities of wastewaters, treatment …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing threat to human and animal health. Progress in
molecular biology has revealed new and significant challenges for AMR mitigation given the …

The intensive use of antibiotics results in their continuous release into the environment and
the subsequent widespread occurrence of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB), antibiotic …

The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria has been a
rising problem for public health in recent decades. It is becoming increasingly recognized …

The environment is increasingly being recognized for the role it might play in the global
spread of clinically relevant antibiotic resistance. Environmental regulators monitor and …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are present as both intracellular and extracellular
fractions of DNA in the environment. Due to the poor yield of extracellular DNA in …

Composting is widely used for recycling of urban sewage sludge to improve soil properties,
which represents a potential pathway of spreading antibiotic resistant bacteria and genes to …
