The widespread and injudicious usage of antibiotics to contain pathogenic microbial
infections, coupled with inadequate treatment of wastes containing non-metabolized …

The release of antibiotics to the environment, and the consequences of the presence of
persistent antimicrobial residues in ecosystems, have been the subject of numerous studies …

Soil contamination is one of the main threats to ecosystem health and sustainability. Yet little
is known about the extent to which soil contaminants differ between urban greenspaces and …

In the Anthropocene, increasing pervasive plastic pollution is creating a new environmental
compartment, the plastisphere. How the plastisphere affects microbial communities and …

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 …

Antibiotic resistance is a global health challenge, involving the transfer of bacteria and
genes between humans, animals and the environment. Although multiple barriers restrict the …

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 …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing threat to human and animal health. Progress in
molecular biology has revealed new and significant challenges for AMR mitigation given the …

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

Aquaculture is the productive activity that will play a crucial role in the challenges of the
millennium, such as the need for proteins that support humans and the respect for the …
