Fecal pollution explains antibiotic resistance gene abundances in anthropogenically impacted environments
2018-06-07
Abstract excerpt
Discharge of treated sewage leads to release of antibiotic resistant bacteria, resistance genes and antibiotic residues to the environment. Such pollution can directly contribute to increased morbidity caused by the transmission of resistant fecal pathogens. Residual antibiotics in wastewaters have been speculated to select for resistant bacteria and thereby promote the evolution and emergence of new resistance fa...
