Dissemination of Antimicrobial Resistance in Microbial Ecosystems through Horizontal Gene Transfer (2016, background): “It has since become clear that ARGs, including clinically relevant ones, are widespread in such environments (Wright, 2010).”
Strategies and molecular tools to fight antimicrobial resistance: resistome, transcriptome, and antimicrobial peptides (2013, background): “…evolution and distribution of resistant bacteria worldwide both in hospitals, human, and animal communities, and in the open environment, although this human activity is not necessarily the only, or even the proximate, cause for antimicrobial resistance phenomenon (Josephson, 2006; Wright, 2010).”
Environmental factors influencing the development and spread of antibiotic resistance (2017, neutral): “…years, the role of the environment as an important source and dissemination route of resistance has been increasingly recognized (Martinez 2008; Wright 2010; Ashbolt et al. 2013; Finley et al. 2013; Pruden et al. 2013; Bengtsson-Palme et al. 2014b; Bondarczuk, Markowicz and Piotrowska-Seget…”
Review of antibiotic resistance in China and its environment. (2018, positive): “The overuse and misuse of antibiotics stimulated the more rapid emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs), reducing their therapeutic potential against human and animal pathogens (Wright, 2010).”
A Brief History of the Antibiotic Era: Lessons Learned and Challenges for the Future (2010, background): “Indeed, there is some evidence on the environmental origin of some clinically relevant resistance genes (Wright, 2010).”
Microbial metagenomics in aquaculture: a potential tool for a deeper insight into the activity (2017, background): “ARDs are ubiquitous in some widespread bacteria (Wright 2010).”
Horizontal Gene Exchange in Environmental Microbiota (2011, background): “To withstand themassive pressure of antimicrobials used by humans, commensal, and pathogenic bacteria were able,within a relatively short period of time on the evolutionary scale, tomobilize a huge reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes, often from the environmental bacteria (Aminov andMackie, 200”
Concentrations of antibiotics predicted to select for resistant bacteria: Proposed limits for environmental regulation. (2016, background): “The environment has repeatedly been identified as a source for resistance genes to pathogens (D'Costa et al., 2006, 2011; Finley et al., 2013; Martinez, 2008; Pruden et al., 2013; Wright, 2010), however, it is unclear to what extent antibiotics in the environment contribute to this development.”
Management Options for Reducing the Release of Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Genes to the Environment (2013, background): “In general, uncontrolled use of anti biotics and metals is increasing in Chinese agriculture and industry, corresponding to enrich ment of ARGs in the manure (Zhu et al. 2013) and affected environment, particularly in soils (Wu et al. 2010).”
