Antibiotic resistance in the environment, with particular reference to MRSA [PDF]
, 2008 The introduction of β-lactam antibiotics (penicillins and cephalosporins) in the 1940s and 1950s probably represents the most dramatic event in the battle against infection in human medicine.

Seasonal variations in antibiotic resistance gene transport in the Almendares River, Havana, Cuba [PDF]
, 2012 Numerous studies have quantified antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) in rivers and streams around the world, and significant relationships have been shown that relate different pollutant outputs and increased local ARG levels.

Antibiotic-Resistance Genes in Waste Water [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2018 Waste water and waste water treatment plants can act as reservoirs and environmental suppliers of antibiotic resistance. They have also been proposed to be hotspots for horizontal gene transfer, enabling the spread of antibiotic resistance genes between different bacterial species.

Genomic Sequence Analysis of Methicillin- and Carbapenem-Resistant Bacteria Isolated from Raw Sewage
Microbiology Spectrum, 2021 Antibiotic resistance is one of the largest threats facing global health. Wastewater treatment plants are well-known hot spots for interaction between diverse bacteria, genetic exchange, and antibiotic resistance. Nonpathogenic bacteria theoretically act

Antimicrobial resistance characteristics and fitness of Gram-negative fecal bacteria from volunteers treated with minocycline or amoxicillin. [PDF]
, 2014 A yearlong study was performed to examine the effect of antibiotic administration on the bacterial gut flora. Gram-negative facultative anaerobic bacteria were recovered from the feces of healthy adult volunteers administered amoxicillin, minocycline or ...

Fecal pollution can explain antibiotic resistance gene abundances in anthropogenically impacted environments [PDF]
, 2019 Discharge of treated sewage leads to release of antibiotic resistant bacteria, resistance genes and antibiotic residues to the environment. However, it is unclear whether increased abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in sewage and sewage-impacted ...
