1 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
The dissemination of antibiotic resistance bacteria from anthropogenic sources into the environment poses an emerging public health threat. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and gene-capturing systems such as integron-associated integrase genes (intI) play a key role in alterations of microbial communities and spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria into the environment. In order to assess the effect of...
