Integrons are versatile gene acquisition systems commonly found in bacterial genomes.
They are ancient elements that are a hot spot for genomic complexity, generating phenotypic …

Aquaculture is the fastest growing food sector globally and protein provisioning from
aquaculture now exceeds that from wild capture fisheries. There is clear potential for the …

The spread of antibiotic resistance is closely related with selective pressure in the
environment. Wastewater from industrialized regions is characterized by higher …

This study aimed to assess the possibility of using solar light-driven photolysis and TiO 2-
based photocatalysis to remove (1) antibiotic residues,(2) their transformation products …

The integron platform allows the acquisition, expression, and dissemination of antibiotic
resistance genes within gene cassettes. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) contain …

This paper examines how land use affects water quality and how this impacts the viability of
shellfish mariculture (marine aquaculture) in the UK through a synthesis of the current …

Background Wastewater treatment plants are an essential part of maintaining the health and
safety of the general public. However, they are also an anthropogenic source of antibiotic …

This study determined the impact of poultry and bovine manure fertilization on the content of
antibiotics, heavy metals (HMs), and the quantitative and qualitative composition of …

The marine environment is a potential natural reservoir of antimicrobial resistance genes
(ARGs), subject to anthropogenic effluents (wastewater, industrial, and domestic), and …
