Due to the increased demand of animal protein in developing countries, intensive farming is
instigated, which results in antibiotic residues in animal-derived products, and eventually …

The occurrence of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes in riverine systems has
become a growing concern worldwide. Risk prediction of antibiotic resistance is difficult as …

Antibiotic pollution has caused a continuous increase in the development of antibiotic-
resistant bacteria and antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs) in aquatic environments worldwide …

A wide range of emerging contaminants (ECs), such as pharmaceutically active compounds,
personal care products (PCPs), endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), and hormones …

In this study, six antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), one mobile genetic element (int1), and
their relation with microbial communities, antibiotics, and water quality were investigated in …

Heavy metal pollution can enhance the level of antibiotic resistance, posing concerns to
ecosystem and public health. Here, we investigated heavy metal concentrations, heavy …

Increasing antibiotic resistant hospital-acquired infections and limited new antibiotic
discovery are jeopardizing human health at global scales, although how hospitals …

Due to significant human activity, road dust is becoming contaminated by heavy metals in
many cities. To comprehensively investigate the variation of contamination level and …

Solid waste management constitutes a major concern and unresolved problem in most parts
of the world, particularly in developing countries where solid waste is disposed in …

Both heavy metals and antibiotics exert selection pressure on bacterial resistance, and as
they are commonly co-contaminated in the environment, they may play a larger role in …
