Plastic Leachate Exposure Drives Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence in Marine Bacterial Communities
2023-02-14
Abstract excerpt
Plastic pollution is a serious global problem, with more than 12 million tonnes of plastic waste entering the oceans every year. Plastic debris can have considerable impacts on microbial community structure and functions in marine environments, and has been associated with an enrichment in pathogenic bacteria and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. However, our understanding of these impacts is largely restricte...
