The role of heavy metals in the co-selection of plasmid-borne metal and antibiotic resistance genes from industrially contaminated sediments

2025-12-15

Abstract excerpt

A comprehensive understanding of the sources and drivers of antimicrobial resistance is essential for effective antimicrobial stewardship. Co-selection is now recognised as a significant driver of antimicrobial resistance, with established links between heavy metal exposure and the presence of bacteria with antimicrobial resistance. The precise mechanisms that drive this process in the environment are co-resistanc...
