Antimicrobial pharmaceuticals are classified as emergent micropollutants of concern,
implying that even at low concentrations, long-term exposure to the environment can have …

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 …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat to human and animal health and well-
being. To understand AMR dynamics, it is important to monitor resistant bacteria and …

This paper reviews current knowledge on sources, spread and removal mechanisms of
antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in microbial communities of wastewaters, treatment …

The intensive use of antibiotics for human, veterinary and agricultural purposes, results in
their continuous release into the environment. Together with antibiotics, antibiotic-resistant …

In line with sustainable development principles and in order to combat climate change,
which contributes to progressive soil depletion, various solutions are being sought to use …

Antibiotic resistance and its wider implications present us with a growing healthcare crisis.
Recent research points to the environment as an important component for the transmission …

Misuse/over use of antibiotics increases the threats to human health since this is a main
reason behind evolution of antibiotic resistant bacterial pathogens. However, metals such as …

Waste water and waste water treatment plants can act as reservoirs and environmental
suppliers of antibiotic resistance. They have also been proposed to be hotspots for …

Both microplastics (MPs) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are intensively detected in
waste activated sludge (WAS). However, the distinctive impacts of different MPs on ARGs …
