Antibiotic resistance is currently one of the greatest threats to human health. Widespread
use and residues of antibiotics in humans, animals, and the environment can exert selective …

Antibiotic pollution is becoming an increasingly severe threat globally. Antibiotics have
emerged as a new class of environmental pollutants due to their expanding usage and …

The manuscript endeavors to provide a perspective on the role of water bodies in the spread
of antimicrobial (antibiotic) resistance (AMR), antimicrobial resistant bacteria (ARB), and …

The acquisition of antimicrobial resistance (AR) genes has rendered important pathogens
nearly or fully unresponsive to antibiotics. It has been suggested that pathogens acquire AR …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are known to harbor antibiotic resistance genes
(ARGs), which can potentially spread to the environment and human populations. However …

The use, overuse, and improper use of antibiotics have resulted in higher levels of antibiotic-
resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs), which have profoundly …

Rivers are important in spreading antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Assessing AMR risk in
large rivers is challenged by large spatial scale and numerous contamination sources …

Antibiotic resistance (AR) is a serious environmental hazard of the current age. Antibiotic
resistance genes (ARGs) are the fundamental entities that spread AR in the environment …

Bacterial pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are extensively disseminated
into the environment via hospital wastewater (HWW), as it contains large quantities of feces …

As seen in earlier and present pandemics, monitoring pathogens in the environment can
offer multiple insights on their spread, evolution, and even future outbreaks. The present …
