Antibiotic-resistant bacteria were first described in the 1940s, but whereas new antibiotics
were being discovered at a steady rate, the consequences of this phenomenon were slow to …

Introduction and aims A review was undertaken on the occurrence, toxicity, and degradation
of triclosan (TCS; 5-chloro-2, 4-dichlorophenoxy) phenol) in the environment. TCS is a …

Human use of antimicrobials in the clinic, community and agricultural systems has driven
selection for resistance in bacteria. Resistance can be selected at antibiotic concentrations …

Triclosan (TCS) is a commonly used antimicrobial agent that enters wastewater treatment
plants (WWTPs) and the environment. An estimated 1.1× 10 5 to 4.2× 10 5 kg of TCS are …

Biocides and formulated biocides are used worldwide for an increasing number of
applications despite tightening regulations in Europe and in the United States. One concern …

Importance of the field: Antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens has increased worldwide
leading to treatment failures. Concerns have been raised about the use of biocides as a …

Triclosan (TCS), an emergent pollutant, is raising a global concern due to its toxic effects on
organisms and aquatic ecosystems. The non-availability of proven treatment technologies …

The outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic led to increased use of disinfectants and
antiseptics (DAs), resulting in higher concentrations of these compounds in wastewaters …

Misuse and overuse of antibiotics drive the selection and spread of antibiotic-resistant
bacteria. Although genetic mutations have been well defined for different types of antibiotic …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global problem and there has been growing concern
associated with its widespread along the animal–human–environment interface. The farm-to …
