Biofilms in water environments are thought to be hot spots for horizontal gene transfer (HGT)
of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). ARGs can be spread via HGT, though mechanisms …

Emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in cultured fishes is one of the major
challenges faced in aquaculture. The high prevalence of bacterial infections in fishes leads …

The emergence and pollution of antibiotics in surface water in various regions have drawn
widespread concern because of the harm to aquatic ecosystems and human health. In this …

The use of antibiotics may accelerate the development of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)
and bacteria which shade health risks to humans and animals. The emerging of ARGs in the …

In recent years, antibiotics have been listed as a new class of environmental pollutants.

This mini-review summarizes the changes in the field of bacterial acquired tetracycline
resistance (tet) and oxytetracycline (otr) genes identified since the last major review in 2001 …

The ubiquitous application and release of antibiotics to the environment can result in
bacterial antibiotic resistance, which in turn can be a serious risk to humans and other …

The prophylactic and therapeutic use of tetracyclines in aquaculture has been shown to
contribute to the spread of tetracycline resistance in the environment. In this work, the …

Activated sludge was sampled from 15 sewage treatment plants (STPs) across China and
other global locations to investigate the occurrence, abundance and diversity of tetracycline …
