This review aims to gather and summarize information about the occurrence of emerging
contaminants and antibiotic resistance genes in environmental matrices in Latin America …

Antibiotics revolutionized modern medicine and have been an excellent tool to fight
infections. However, their overuse and misuse in different human activities such as health …

The occurrence of antibiotics in the natural environment has been a growing issue and
correlations between this presence and developing resistance bacteria are explored. The …

Aquatic ecosystems harbor a vast pool of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which can
suffer mutation, recombination and selection events. Here, we explored the diversity of …

Water borne diarrheal pathogens might accumulate in river water and cause contamination
of drinking and irrigation water. The La Paz River basin, including the Choqueyapu River …

The worldwide spread of extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-and AmpC β-lactamase
(AmpC)-producing Escherichia coli poses serious threats to public health. Swine farms have …

Early detection of emerging carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in food-
producing animals is essential to control the spread of CPE. We assessed the risk of CPE …

Antibiotic resistance is a global health issue, with Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) posing a
particular threat due to its ability to acquire resistance to multiple drug classes rapidly. OXA …

Abstract Heavy metals, 1, 4-dioxane, cyanotoxins, bacteria with antibiotic-resistant genes,
pharmaceuticals, nanoparticles, and many more are listed as emerging contaminants due to …

In this work, by high‐throughput sequencing, antibiotic resistance genes, including class A
(blaCTX-M, blaZ, blaTEM, blaVEB, blaKLUC, and blaSFO), class C (blaSHV, blaDHA …
