Adsorptive removal of antibiotics from water and wastewater: Progress and challenges. (2015, background): “Of particular concern are antibiotic residues in the environment which can induce antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) from extended exposure at relatively low concentrations (Dantas et al., 2008).”
Multidrug Resistance in Bacteria (2009, background): “present in soil only at very low concentrations, the recent discovery of microorganisms that utilize antibiotics as nutrients (29) is suggestive of the evolutionary origin of some antibiotic degradation (resistance) genes.”
Antibiotics and the gut microbiota. (2014, unknown): “As a further example of the intrinsic and natural role of drug resistance in microbial ecosystems (1, 32), the human microbiome has recently been found to serve as an impressive reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes.”
Antibiotics in the Soil Environment—Degradation and Their Impact on Microbial Activity and Diversity (2019, background): “In turn, the increased activity of enzymes under antibiotics pressure may result from the ability of many bacteria to subsist on antibiotics as a carbon source (Dantas et al., 2008).”
Cross-biome metagenomic analyses of soil microbial communities and their functional attributes (2012, background): “The production of antibiotics and resistance to antibiotics are traits that are widespread among soil bacteria and fungi (44, 45), with both models and experimental data suggesting that elevated microbe–microbe competition should select for increased antibiotic production and resistance (46–48).”
Call of the wild: antibiotic resistance genes in natural environments (2010, background): “; and various bacteria, mostly of the phylum Proteobacteria, grown on various antibiotic”
