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 …

Lakes are an important source of freshwater, containing nearly 90% of the liquid surface
fresh water worldwide. Long retention times in lakes mean pollutants from discharges slowly …

Removal of tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) by biochar adsorption is emerging as a cost-
effective and environmentally friendly strategy. This study developed a novel pomelo peel …

Antibiotic resistance has become a significant and growing threat to public and
environmental health. To face this problem both at local and global scales, a better …

Antibiotics are widely used as growth promoters in animal husbandry; among them, the
tetracyclines are a chemical group of relevance, due to their wide use in agriculture …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), in association with antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB),
have been identified as widespread contaminants of treated drinking waters and …

Antibiotics are a typical group of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) with
emerging pollutant effects. The presence of residual antibiotics in the environment is a …

Environmental reservoirs of antibiotic resistance (AR) are a growing concern that are
gathering more attention as potential sources for human infection. Carbapenem-resistant …

Bacteria showing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pose a significant global healthcare
problem. Although many mechanisms conferring AMR are understood, the ecological …

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 …
