Phage Therapy in the Postantibiotic Era (2019, background): “This continued exposure of environmental microbial communities to diverse antibiotics has led to the accelerated evolution and expanded repertoire of antibiotic resistance genes persisting in natural reservoirs (15).”
Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) for Environmental Development and Transfer of Antibiotic Resistance (2013, background): “2012) has yet to be quanti fied, but is of global concern (Finley et al. 2013; WHO 2012a).”
Antibiotic Use in Agriculture and Its Consequential Resistance in Environmental Sources: Potential Public Health Implications (2018, background): “Microorganisms (specifically, bacteria) do not live in isolation [4], but are found in milieu/medium (humans, air, water, plants, and soil) known as their habitat (aquatic ecosystem), which offers them with the appropriate nutritional and growth requirements necessary for survival.”
Beneficial fungal communities from different habitats and their roles in plant growth promotion and soil health (2020, background): “…that are increasing technical concern with regards to their possible adverse effects and risk reduction measures steps including the aminoglycosides, β-lactams, lincosamides, macrolides, pleuromutilins, sulphonamides and tetracyclines (Baynes et al. 2016; De Briyne et al. 2014; Finley et al. 2013).”
Environmental factors influencing the development and spread of antibiotic resistance (2017, positive): “tant 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 2015), but”
The global threat of antimicrobial resistance: science for intervention (2015, background): “Antibacterial agents have several routes of entry into the environment, such as sewage from the community or hospitals through manure and water bodies [17,18].”
Improved annotation of antibiotic resistance determinants reveals microbial resistomes cluster by ecology (2014, background): “, 2012) and includes many routes through agricultural and environmental microbial communities, the full impact of environmental AR on human health is still unknown (Finley et al., 2013).”
