Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are prevalent in estuarine and coastal
environments due to substantial terrestrial input, aquaculture effluent, and sewage …

The concept of the antibiotic resistome was introduced just over a decade ago, and since
then, active resistome studies have been conducted. In the present study, we describe the …

Large amounts of antibiotics are produced and consumed worldwide, while wastewater
treatment is still rather inefficient, leading to considerable water contamination …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) have a significant effect on the dewaterability of
waste-activated sludge (WAS); however, the role of polarity distribution (hydrophilic …

Human-induced antibiotic pollution in the world's large rivers poses significant risk to
riverine ecosystems, water quality, and human health. This study identified geophysical and …

Drinking water is closely related to human health, disease and mortality, and contaminated
drinking water causes 485,000 deaths from diarrhea each year worldwide. China has been …

The widespread use of antibiotics has rapidly increased the prevalence of antibiotic-
resistant bacteria (ARB) and their associated antibiotics resistance genes (ARGs), posing a …

The prevalence and transmission of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and opportunistic
pathogens in water environments can pose great threat to public health. However, the …

Microplastics (MPs) serve as vectors for microorganisms and antibiotic resistance genes
(ARGs) and contribute to the spread of pathogenic bacteria and ARGs across various …

Human activities can accelerate the antibiotic resistome prevalence and pose threats to
