Antibiotic-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and non-lactose fermenting Gram-negative bacteria
are a major cause of nosocomial infections. Antibiotic misuse has fueled the worldwide …

Objective The aim of this study was to determine whether Clinton River water is
contaminated with antibiotics and is a reservoir of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. Methods …

The overuse and misuse of antibiotics have accelerated the selection of antibiotic-resistant
bacteria, significantly impacting human, animal, and environmental health. As aquatic …

Municipal biosolids (MBs) that are land‐applied in North America are known to possess an
active microbial population that can include human pathogens. Activated sludge is a hotspot …

Although extensive efforts have been made to investigate the dynamics of the occurrence
and abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in wastewater treatment plants …

In this study, we investigated the β-lactamase-encoding genes responsible for β-lactam
resistance phenotypes detected among 56 Gram-negative isolates (Gamma-and Alpha …

Objectives: Effluents contain a diverse abundance of antibiotic resistance genes that
augment the resistome of receiving aquatic environments. However, uncertainty remains …

The natural aquatic environment is a significant contributor to the development and
circulation of clinically significant antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). The potential for the …

Increasing beta-lactam resistance has led to the exploration of different places, such as
wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) which have been considered to be reservoirs and …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) provide a suitable environment for the interaction of
antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) from human, animal, and …
