The intensive use of antibiotics may accelerate the development of antibiotic-resistant
bacteria (ARB). The global geographical distribution of environmental ARB has been …

We identified antibiotic-resistant bacterial isolates from the surface waters of Jiulong River
basin in southern China and determined their extent of resistance, as well as the prevalence …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment have paid great concern due to their
health risk. We investigated antibiotics concentrations (tetracyclines, sulfonamides, and …

Environmental factors and anthropogenic activity are key factors that shape the distribution
of bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in natural environments. However, few …

As the largest freshwater river flowing through Harbin, the Songhua River is a standby water
source. It is very important to know the species and distribution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria …

Polluted compounds into freshwater sediments may select and enrich bacteria carrying
specific genetic compositions. Here we examine the possible use of class 1 integrons as …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious public health concern. Many countries have
implemented AMR surveillance programs for humans and animals, but a scheme for …

The molecular architecture of class 2 integrons among gram-negative bacteria from
wastewater environments was investigated in Jinan, China. Out of the 391 antibiotic …

The spread of antibiotic resistance genes in river systems is an emerging environmental
issue due to their potential threat to aquatic ecosystems and public health. In this study, we …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), a potential threat to the health of humans and animals,
have been widely detected in various environments. However, not much information about …
