Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes in natural environments.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 18 Jul 2008

Martínez José L

Abstract excerpt

The large majority of antibiotics currently used for treating infections and the antibiotic resistance genes acquired by human pathogens each have an environmental origin. Recent work indicates that the function of these elements in their environmental reservoirs may be very distinct from the "we...
