A historical legacy of antibiotic utilization on bacterial seed banks in sediments

2017-10-21

Abstract excerpt

The introduction of antibiotics for both medical and non-medical purposes has had a positive effect in human welfare and agricultural output in the past century. However, there is also an important legacy in the use and disposal of antimicrobial agents in natural ecosystems. This historical legacy was investigated by quantifying two antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) conferring resistance to tetracycline ( tet (W)...
