The environment is increasingly recognised as a hotspot for the selection and dissemination
of antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes. These can be selected for by …

Pollution is a critical concern of modern society for its heterogeneous effects on human
health, despite a widespread lack of awareness. Environmental pollutants promote several …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are emerging environmental pollutants, influenced by
complex regulatory factors. River-lake systems act as natural reservoirs for ARGs and …

Secondary municipal-treated wastewater irrigation may introduce residual antibiotics into
the agricultural systems contaminated with certain heavy metals, ultimately leading to the …

Earthworms are recognized as carriers of pollutants; however, how fungicide residues affect
microbiota and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in earthworm guts has remained unclear …

Environmental pollutants from different chemical families may reach the gut microbiome,
where they can be metabolized and transformed. However, how our gut symbionts respond …

The emergence and selection of antibiotic resistance is a major public health problem
worldwide. The presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARBs) in natural and …

The contamination present in an organism varies depending on biological and
oceanographic conditions, so monitoring the same species is of great importance to …

Heavy metal-rich environments can promote the selection of metal-resistance genes (MRGs)
in bacteria, often leading to the simultaneous selection of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) …

Coexistence of antibiotics and heavy metals in agroecosystems promotes antibiotic
resistance genes in crops, thus posing risks to human health. It is imperative to …
