Background: A global problem of multi-drug resistance (MDR) among bacteria is the cause
of hundreds of thousands of deaths every year. In response to the significant increase of …

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 …

Antibiotic resistance is an urgent threat to global health. Antidepressants are consumed in
large quantities, with a similar pharmaceutical market share (4.8%) to antibiotics (5%). While …

A comprehensive monitoring of a broad set of antibiotics in the final effluent of wastewater
treatment plants (WWTPs) of 7 European countries (Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Cyprus …

The prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)
in the microbiome is a major public health concern globally. Many habitats in the …

Abstract Worldwide, antibiotic usage exceeds 100,000 tons per year and there is increasing
concern over the fate of these substances. Antibiotics are ubiquitous in the environment and …

Aquatic environments are identified as an ideal setting for acquisition and dissemination of
antibiotic resistance, and human exposure to antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and …

Emergence of antibiotic resistant pathogenic bacteria poses a serious public health
challenge worldwide. However, antibiotic resistance genes are not confined to the clinic; …

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 …

Antimicrobial pharmaceuticals are classified as emergent micropollutants of concern,
implying that even at low concentrations, long-term exposure to the environment can have …
