recommendations! Published in 2021 at "Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology"

DOI: 10.1007/s00128-020-03098-z

Abstract: Dissemination of antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs) from hospital wastewaters (HWWs) is facilitated by the horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and involves association of ARGs with mobile genetic elements (MGEs). In our previous study, HWWs were found to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00294-020-01104-9

Abstract: Bacteria and other prokaryotes evolve primarily through rapid changes in their gene content by quickly losing and gaining genes whenever an ecological opportunity emerges. As gene loss and horizontal gene transfer (HGT) appear to be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2018.09.013

Abstract: Livestock manure is a hotspot for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Solid-state anaerobic digestion (SAD) is a high efficiency livestock manure treatment, but the changes in ARGs and microbial communities during SAD are unknown. Therefore, thermophilic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2017.07.002

Abstract: The intensive use of antibiotics results in their continuous release into the environment and the subsequent widespread occurrence of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB), antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs). This study used… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/21505594.2025.2514092

Abstract: ABSTRACT Carbapenems and colistin are last-resort antibiotics used to manage difficult-to-treat infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria. However, resistance to these two antibiotics is rising globally, and there is limited knowledge on how pathogens evolve resistance… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2022 at "FEMS Microbiology Ecology"

DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiad031

Abstract: Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are widely disseminated within microbiomes of the human, animal, and environmental spheres. There is a clear need for global monitoring and risk assessment initiatives to evaluate the risks of ARGs towards… read more here.
