Irrational use of antibiotics produces a large number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB)
and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) act as …

Concerns have been raised in recent years regarding co-selection for antibiotic resistance
among bacteria exposed to biocides used as disinfectants, antiseptics and preservatives …

Biocidal agents used for disinfection are usually not suspected to enhance cross-resistance
to antibiotics. The aim of this review was therefore to evaluate the effect of 13 biocidal agents …

Hospitals are hotspots for antimicrobial-resistant bacteria (ARB) and play a major role in
both their emergence and spread. Large numbers of these ARB will be ejected from …

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing and significant threat to global public health, requiring
better understanding of the sources and mechanisms involved in its emergence and spread …

Despite the high removal efficiency for chemical pollutants by tertiary wastewater treatment
processes (TWTPs), there is no definite conclusion in terms of microbial risk mitigation yet …

The occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in water bodies poses a sanitary and
environmental risk. These ARB and other mobile genetic elements can be easily spread …

The presence of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) in wastewater was investigated and the
role of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in promoting or limiting antibiotic resistance …

Foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella that survive cleaning and disinfection during
poultry processing are a public health concern because pathogens that survive disinfectants …

High-throughput sequencing-based metagenomic approaches were used to
comprehensively investigate ultraviolet effects on the microbial community structure, and …
