Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as one of the leading threats to public health. AMR possesses a multidimensional challenge that social, economic, and environmental dimensions encompass food production system, influencing human animal The One Health approach highlights inextricable linkage interdependence between health people, animals, agricu...

Livestock manure treatment and storage structures are potential environmental sources of antimicrobials and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs). In this study, the occurrence of antimicrobials and ARGs was investigated in the water and the sludge compartments of beef cattle storage ponds and swine lagoons. Analysis was focused on two families of antimicrobials (sulfonamide and tetracycline) a...

Effluent from anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) contains ammonia and would require post-polishing treatment before it can be disinfected by chlorine. However, additional post-treatment steps to remove nutrients offset the energetic benefits derived fermentation. The use of chlorine or ozone also promotes concerns associated with disinfection byproducts. This study evaluates UV/H2O2 as a pot...

The present study was done to evaluate the presence of antibiotic resistance genes in Lactococcus garvieae isolated from cultured rainbow trout, West Iran.The isolates were examined for antimicrobial resistance using disc diffusion method. Of the 24 strains tested, 21 were resistant to ampicillin (87.5%), 9 to erythromycin (37.5%) and 19 to tetracycline (79.1%). Fourteen strains were resistant ...

Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to human-health and wellbeing. resistant bacteria (ARB) antibiotic genes (ARGs) are environmental contaminants that circulate among humans, animals the environment. In urban areas, wastewater treatment plants recipients of these contaminants. Despite partial elimination during treatment, final effluents, even after disinfection, contain high doses ARB&ARG...

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have become a global health concern. In our previous study, an ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIm][PF6]) had been proven to facilitate the dissemination of ARGs in the environment. However, enhanced alkyl group chain length or the substitution of alkyl groups with the cation ring corresponded with increased antimicrobial e...

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) have been considered as a global emerging threat to public health systems. As special locations where both antibiotics and ARGs are directly used, biology laboratories poorly studied but potential important emission sources not only the environmental stress is strong also obtaining much easier comparing other well hot spots including farms, hospitals, wastewate...

background mercury is one of the most toxic heavy metals. even a small amount of it is toxic for all living organisms. some of bacteria have developed special resistance mechanisms against mercury, in addition to resistant to different antibiotics. these bacteria usually acquire hg and antibiotic resistance genes via horizontal gene transfer in their habitat. objectives the aim of this study wa...

As the abundance and diversity of antibiotic resistance genes increases in environment, there is a concurrent increase threat to public ecosystem health. Extracellular (eARGs) are cell-free DNA that can promote development via transformation by competent bacterial cells. Despite this role, eARGs have not been well characterized different environmental waters. Their small size low concentrations...
