Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes in landfills: A review

Science of The Total Environment, 2022
Landfill are important reservoirs of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). They harbor diverse contaminants, such as heavy metals and persistent organic chemicals, complex microbial consortia, and anaerobic degradation processes, which facilitate the occurrence, development, and transfer of ARGs and antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB ...

Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes removal in biological aerated filter

Bioresource Technology, 2023
Two laboratory-level biological aerated filters (BAF) were constructed to explore their treatment capacity for simulated antibiotic wastewater at high (1 - 16 mg/L) and low (0 - 0.5 mg/L) concentrations. Results showed that BAF was capable of removing both sulfonamides and tetracyclines with an efficiency of over 90 % at 16 mg/L. The main mechanism for

Antibiotics Resistance Genes

2017
Currently, the use of life-saving antibiotics is growing up rapidly due to its multi-effectiveness for curing bacterial infected diseases. If same antibiotics are frequently consumed, then it kills susceptible bacteria but leaves resistance gene. Thus, some bacteria obtain resistance capacity against some antibiotics called antibiotic resistance ...

Antibiotic resistance genes in water environment

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2009
The use of antibiotics may accelerate the development of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and bacteria which shade health risks to humans and animals. The emerging of ARGs in the water environment is becoming an increasing worldwide concern. Hundreds of various ARGs encoding resistance to a broad range of antibiotics have been found in microorganisms

Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Natural Environments

Science, 2008
The large majority of antibiotics currently used for treating infections and the antibiotic resistance genes acquired by human pathogens each have an environmental origin. Recent work indicates that the function of these elements in their environmental reservoirs may be very distinct from the “weapon-shield” role they play in clinical settings. Changes

Screening for Novel Antibiotic Resistance Genes

2010
Knowledge of novel antibiotic resistance genes aids in the understanding of how antibiotics function and how bacteria fight them. This knowledge also allows future generations of an antibiotic or antibiotic group to be altered to allow the greatest efficacy. The method described here is very simple in theory.

Antibiotics, antibiotic resistance genes and microbial community in grouper mariculture

Science of The Total Environment, 2022
Increasing use of feed and medicine in mariculture could cause negative environmental impacts such as habitat modification, microbial disease development and antibiotic resistance. Here we investigated contamination of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and composition of microbial community in grouper mariculture systems in Hainan ...

Treatment Technologies for Removal of Antibiotics, Antibiotic Resistance Bacteria and Antibiotic-Resistant Genes

2020
This chapter describes current knowledge on the selected eco-friendly strategies for the treatment of main sources (manure and wastewater) of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and antibiotic resistance bacteria (ARB), including bacteria pathogenic for humans and animals, also those mentioned on the WHO list of antibiotic-resistant ...

Ecology of Antibiotic Resistance Genes

2007
This chapter starts with a brief history of the growing public interest in the ecology of resistance genes and then moves on to a survey of some of the conceptual problems that have emerged. It focuses on a few groups of bacteria that are major players in the oral and intestinal ecosystems of humans and animals, the obligate anaerobes.
