Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in the Environment: Dissemination, Ecological Risks, and Remediation Approaches
29 Jul 2025
Abstract excerpt
Global antibiotic use saturates ecosystems with selective pressure, driving mobile genetic element (MGE)-mediated antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) dissemination that destabilizes ecological integrity and breaches public health defenses. This review synthesizes the sources, environmental distribution, and ecological risks of antibiotics and ARGs, emphasizing the mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) driven...
