Metagenomic and network analysis reveal wide distribution and co-occurrence of environmental antibiotic resistance genes (2015, background): “DNA microarray is a genomic analysis method that can simultaneously detect a large number of ARGs in a single assay (Zhang et al., 2009); the possibility for cross-talk of different probes coupled with low-sensitivity restricts its applications for comprehensive surveys of ARGs in complicated enviro”
Antibiotic resistance in the environment: a link to the clinic? (2010, background): “Aquatic environments have also been sampled for resistance elements and this literature has been recently reviewed [28,29].”
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs): a review on environmental contamination in China. (2013, background): “Persistent exposure of antibiotics can result in the emergence of resistant bacteria strains with public health concerns (Zhang et al., 2009b).”
The prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes among Aeromonas species in aquatic environments (2014, background): “Given the fact that Aeromonas spp. are opportunistic pathogens of humans and the causative agent of fish diseases, it is disturbing that more and more different antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) are being detected within this genus (Zhang et al. 2009a).”
Urban wastewater treatment plants as hotspots for antibiotic resistant bacteria and genes spread into the environment: a review. (2013, methodology): “In particular, 30% to 61% of the strains isolated in activated sludge harboured a class 1 RI in activated sludge, results that may vary depending on the methods of nucleic acids extraction as well as the primers used to detect the RIs (Ma et al., 2011; Moura et al., 2007; X.X. Zhang et al., 2009a).”
Metagenomic analysis reveals wastewater treatment plants as hotspots of antibiotic resistance genes and mobile genetic elements. (2017, neutral): “…et al., 2011; Joy et al., 2013; Zhu et al., 2013; Chen et 35 al., 2016), surface water (Li et al., 2009a; Pruden et al., 2012; Li et al., 2014), groundwater (Koike et 36 al., 2007; Lapworth et al., 2012), and even deep ocean sediments (Zhang et al., 2009; Chen et al., 37 2013; Shah et al., 2014).”
Detection and fate of antibiotic resistant bacteria in wastewater treatment plants: a review. (2013, background): “The genes encoding these mechanisms are located on the bacterial chromosome or on extra chromosomal plasmids, and can be transmitted to the next generation via vertical gene transfer (Zhang et al., 2009).”
Occurrence of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes in hospital and urban wastewaters and their impact on the receiving river. (2015, background): “…to the ARGs released into the environment and, 79 consequently, the emergence and potential spread of antibiotic resistance (Pruden et al., 2006; 80 Zhang et al., 2009; Munir et al., 2011; LaPara et al., 2011; Chen and Zhang, 2013; Marti and 81 Balcázar, 2013; Sidrach-Cardona et al., 2014).”
Antibiotic resistance plasmids in wastewater treatment plants and their possible dissemination into the environment (2010, methodology): “However, there are improvements in overcoming technical limitations due to complex environmental matrices (Ormerci and Linden, 2008; Zhang et al., 2009), FISH could be a preferred method, particularly in monitoring the dissemination of antibiotic resistance plasmids from WWTPs.”
