Wastewater is among the most important reservoirs of antibiotic resistance in urban
environments. The abundance of carbon sources and other nutrients, a variety of possible …

Conventional urban wastewater treatment plants (UWTPs) are poorly effective in the
removal of most contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), including antibiotics, antibiotic …

Conspectus Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest threats faced by
humankind. The development of resistance in clinical and hospital settings has been well …

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 …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) with the ability to thwart clinical therapies and escalate
mortality rates is emerging as one of the most pressing global health and environmental …

Abstract Microplastic Particles (MPs) are ubiquitous pollutants widely found in aquatic
ecosystems. Although MPs are mostly retained in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), a …

Plastic pollution is a major global concern with several million microplastic particles entering
every day freshwater ecosystems via wastewater discharge. Microplastic particles stimulate …

An upsurge in the study of antibiotic resistance in the environment has been observed in the
last decade. Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly clear that urban wastewater is a key …

The overuse, misuse, and underuse of antibiotics tend to increase the antibiotic burden in
the environment resulting into the evolution in microbial community to possess resistance …

The study quantified the abundances of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and facultative
pathogenic bacteria (FPB) as well as one mobile genetic element in genomic DNA via qPCR …
