Citations in the corpus

• Antimicrobial resistance: A global emerging threat to public health systems (2017, background): “One severe consequence associated to the excessive use is that 75–90% of antibiotics used in food animals are excreted, largely umetabolized, into the environment (Kumar et al., 2005) and the excreted drugs can persist in the environment creating an opportunity for resistance within exposed bacteria”
• Potential Benefits and Risks for Soil Health Derived From the Use of Organic Amendments in Agriculture (2019, background): “Hence, a considerable amount of these emerging contaminants are excreted unchanged or as active metabolites of the parent species [177], resulting in the presence of a high amount of antibiotics in many wastewaters [178].”
• Food Animals and Antimicrobials: Impacts on Human Health (2011, background): “It is estimated that 75% to 90% of antibiotics used in food animals are excreted, largely unmetabolized, into the environment (43, 105).”
• Antibiotics in the Soil Environment—Degradation and Their Impact on Microbial Activity and Diversity (2019, background): “It has been reported that 75–80, 50–90, and 60% of the doses of tetracyclines, erythromycin, and lincomycin, respectively, are excreted in urine and feces (Kumar et al., 2005a; Sarmah et al., 2006).”
• Sulfadiazine Uptake and Effects on Salix fragilis L. and Zea mays L. Plants (2012, background): “The antibiotic movement was probably driven by diffusion and/or advection with the transpiration stream, the main processes of the passive uptake of organic pollutants such as chlortetracycline (Kumar 2005; Pilon-Smits 2005; Trapp et al. 1990).”
• Occurrence, fate, and ecotoxicity of antibiotics in agro-ecosystems. A review (2011, unknown): “Many reports had detected antibiotic pollution in water bodies in Asia (Xu et al. 2007a, b; Gulkowska et al. 2007) and Europe (Golet et al. 2002; Christian et al. 2003; Stolker et al. 2004 ), and plant uptake (Migliore et al. 1996; Kumar et al. 2005a; Boxall et al. 2006; Dolliver et al. 2007).”
