Evaluating human exposure to antibiotic resistance genes
25 Feb 2024
Abstract excerpt
Antibiotic resistance is an escalating global concern, leading to millions of annual fatalities. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) present in bacteria equip them to withstand the effects of antibiotics. Intra- and interspecific ARGs transmission through horizontal gene transfer further exacerbates resistance dissemination. The presence of ARGs in the environment heightens the probability of human exposure via...
