- Dissemination of Antimicrobial Resistance in Microbial Ecosystems through Horizontal Gene Transfer (2016, background): “…soil samples taken between 1940 and 2008, which shows that ARGs from all classes of antibiotics tested (β-lactams, tetracyclines, erythromycins, and glycopeptides) significantly increased since 1940, with a tetracycline ARG being over 15 times more abundant than in the 1970s (Knapp et al., 2010).”
- Using the class 1 integron-integrase gene as a proxy for anthropogenic pollution (2014, background): “…genes and DNA vectors are increasingly being recognized as environmental contaminants (Pruden et al., 2006; Stalder et al., 2014), and their abundance in natural environments and wild animals has been increasing since the first human use of antibiotics (Knapp et al., 2009; Gillings, 2013).”
- Diverse and abundant antibiotic resistance genes in Chinese swine farms (2013, background): “Indeed, the expansion of the antibiotic resistance gene reservoir in the environment has been caused by antibiotic use in humans and animals (3).”
- Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products in the Environment: What Are the Big Questions? (2012, background): “Antibiotics in the environment may enhance the formation of single, cross-, and multiple-resistance in bacteria (e.g., ByrneBailey et al. 2009; Gaze et al. 2011; Knapp et al. 2010; Kristiansson et al. 2011).”
- Occurrence, fate, and ecotoxicity of antibiotics in agro-ecosystems. A review (2011, background): “components (sediments, soils, wastewater, and drinking water) has been detected, and their abundance in soils had increased significantly (Knapp et al. 2010).”
- Antibiotic resistance in the environment: a link to the clinic? (2010, methodology): “In a rare quantitative study of changes in antibiotic resistance from soil over time, Graham and colleagues isolated DNA from agricultural soils collected from the Netherlands from 1940 to 2008 and used qPCR to quantify the presence of selected antibiotic resistance genes [25].”
- Antibiotic Pollution in the Environment: From Microbial Ecology to Public Policy (2019, background): “For example, ARG abundance for all classes of antibiotics were found to be significantly increased in soils from the Netherlands since the 1940s [25].”
- Antibiotic Resistance Is Prevalent in an Isolated Cave Microbiome (2012, result): “In a survey of soil samples from the Netherlands spanning the pre-and post-antibiotic eras (1940–2008), an increase in the relative abundance of antibiotic resistance genes for major antibiotic families (ß-lactams, tetracyclines and macrolides) was observed in contemporary soil samples in comparison”
