The production and use of antibiotics are becoming increasingly common worldwide, and
the problem of antibiotic resistance is increasing alarmingly. Drug‐resistant infections …

Despite significant public health concerns regarding infectious diseases in air environments,
potentially harmful microbiological indicators, such as antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are commonly detected in the atmosphere, but questions
remain regarding their sources and relative contributions, bacterial hosts, and …

To reveal the selective pressures of near-shore human activities on marine and continental
bioaerosols, the pollution profile and potential exposure risk of airborne pathogens and …

Background Livestock farms are a reservoir of antimicrobial resistant bacteria from feces.
Airborne dust-bound bacteria can spread across the barn and to the outdoor environment …

Globally extensive use of antibiotics has accelerated antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the
environment. As one of the biggest antibiotic consumers, livestock farms are hotspots in …

Antibiotic resistance comprising of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic
resistance genes (ARGs) is an emerging problem causing global human health risks …

We conducted a critical review to establish what is known about the sources, characteristics,
and dissemination of ARGs in the atmosphere. We identified 52 papers that reported direct …

Antibiotic resistome can be carried by the bioaerosols and propagate from wastewater
treatment plants (WWTPs) to the atmosphere, but questions remain regarding their mobility …

Urban ambient air contains a cocktail of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) emitted from
various anthropogenic sites. However, what is largely unknown is whether the airborne …
