Abstract excerpt
The extensive use of copper-based fungicides in orchards, especially in vineyards, leads to the accumulation of copper, which has caused growing concern. However, data on the acquisition of antibiotic resistance in opportunistic pathogens under copper-based fungicides are scarce. In this study, we investigated the potential development of antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli K12 under selective copper...
