Most bacteria attach to biotic or abiotic surfaces and are embedded in a complex matrix
which is known as biofilm. Biofilm formation is especially worrisome in clinical settings as it …

The intensive use of antibiotics for human, veterinary and agricultural purposes, results in
their continuous release into the environment. Together with antibiotics, antibiotic-resistant …

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 environment is increasingly being recognized for the role it might play in the global
spread of clinically relevant antibiotic resistance. Environmental regulators monitor and …

Freshwater environments are susceptible to possible contamination by residual antibiotics
that are released through different sources, such as agricultural runoffs, sewage discharges …

Infectious diseases caused by antibiotic-resistant bacterial (ARB) pathogens are a serious
threat to human and animal health. The active surveillance of ARB using an integrated one …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are emerging contaminants, which have been frequently
detected in different aquatic environments, posing potential risk to public health and …

Despite growing attention to environmental pollution by microplastics (MP), the effects of MP
aging on bacterial horizontal gene transfer (HGT) have not been systematically investigated …

Biocidal agents used for disinfection are usually not suspected to enhance cross-resistance
to antibiotics. The aim of this review was therefore to evaluate the effect of 13 biocidal agents …

An environmentally friendly Fe@ nitrogen-doped carbon nanocomposite catalyst (Fe@ N-
CNs) was prepared via a facile and economical process using carboxymethyl chitosan …
