Antimicrobial Resistance in the Aconcagua River, Chile: Prevalence and Characterization of Resistant Bacteria in a Watershed Under High Anthropogenic Contamination Pressure
2025-05-16
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health concern, driven in part by the environmental release of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antimicrobial-resistance genes (ARGs). Aquatic systems, particularly those exposed to urban, agricultural, and industrial activity, are recognized as hotspots for AMR evolution and transmission.
