Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes in agricultural soils: A systematic analysis
Critical reviews in environmental science and technology, 2022 Misuse and overuse of antibiotics have contributed to the rise of antimicrobial resistance as one of the top public health threats. Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are prevalent in agricultural soils due to the widespread application ...
