Emergence of antibiotic resistant pathogenic bacteria poses a serious public health
challenge worldwide. However, antibiotic resistance genes are not confined to the clinic; …

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 …

The role of food‐producing environments in the emergence and spread of antimicrobial
resistance (AMR) in EU plant‐based food production, terrestrial animals (poultry, cattle and …

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 …

The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria has been a
rising problem for public health in recent decades. It is becoming increasingly recognized …

Determining the selective potential of antibiotics at environmental concentrations is critical
for designing effective strategies to limit selection for antibiotic resistance. This study …

The information obtained from the chemical analysis of specific human excretion products
(biomarkers) in urban wastewater can be used to estimate the exposure or consumption of …

Faced with the crisis of multidrug-resistant bacteria, bacteriophages, viruses that infect and
replicate within bacteria, have been reported to have both beneficial and detrimental effects …

Antibiotic resistance has become an emerging global health concern in recent years.
Particularly, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are frequently detected in high abundance …

Although antibiotic resistance represents a significant and growing public health concern,
