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

The extensive use of antibiotics leading to the rapid spread of antibiotic resistance poses
high health risks to humans, but to date there is still lack of a quantitative model to properly …

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 …

It is well established that plasmids play an important role in the dissemination of
antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes; however, little is known about the role of the …

Microorganisms have a pivotal role in the functioning of ecosystems. Recent studies have
shown that microbial communities harbour keystone taxa, which drive community …

Antibiotics are widely used in animal husbandry, and various types of antibiotic resistance
genes (ARGs) are frequently detected in livestock waste around the world. Conventional …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing threat to human and animal health. Progress in
molecular biology has revealed new and significant challenges for AMR mitigation given the …

Antibiotic resistance is a global health crisis linked to increased, and often unrestricted,
antibiotic use in humans and animals. As one of the world's largest producers and …

Landfill are important reservoirs of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). They
harbor diverse contaminants, such as heavy metals and persistent organic chemicals …

Waste water and waste water treatment plants can act as reservoirs and environmental
suppliers of antibiotic resistance. They have also been proposed to be hotspots for …
