Antibiotics have been used to cure bacterial infections for more than 70 years, and these low-
molecular-weight bioactive agents have also been used for a variety of other medicinal …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a substantial threat to human health. The widespread
prevalence of AMR is, in part, due to the horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are widespread among bacteria. However, not all ARGs
pose serious threats to public health, highlighting the importance of identifying those that are …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have accelerated microbial threats to human health in
the last decade. Many genes can confer resistance, but evaluating the relative health risks of …

Sewage sludge is an important reservoir of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs),
and antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), and the …

Several interconnected human, animal and environmental habitats can contribute to the
emergence, evolution and spread of antibiotic resistance, and the health of these contiguous …

Microplastics have been found to be ubiquitous in freshwater ecosystems, providing a novel
substrate for biofilm formation. Here, we incubated biofilm on microplastics and two natural …

The extensive use of antibiotics leading to the rapid spread of antibiotic resistance poses
high health risks to humans, but to date there is still lack of a quantitative model to properly …

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 serious threat to global public health, but obtaining
representative data on AMR for healthy human populations is difficult. Here, we use …
