Sewage sludge is an important reservoir of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs),
and antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), and the …

Antibiotic resistance is a global health challenge, involving the transfer of bacteria and
genes between humans, animals and the environment. Although multiple barriers restrict the …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat to human and animal health and well-
being. To understand AMR dynamics, it is important to monitor resistant bacteria and …

Microplastics have been found to be ubiquitous in freshwater ecosystems, providing a novel
substrate for biofilm formation. Here, we incubated biofilm on microplastics and two natural …

Antibiotic resistance and its wider implications present us with a growing healthcare crisis.
Recent research points to the environment as an important component for the transmission …

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 …

Discharge of treated sewage leads to release of antibiotic resistant bacteria, resistance
genes and antibiotic residues to the environment. However, it is unclear whether increased …

ABSTRACT A global rise in antimicrobial resistance among pathogenic bacteria has proved
to be a major public health threat, with the rate of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections …

There is growing understanding that the environment plays an important role both in the
transmission of antibiotic resistant pathogens and in their evolution. Accordingly …

There are concerns that selection pressure from antibiotics in the environment may
accelerate the evolution and dissemination of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Nevertheless …
