Multiresistant Bacteria: Invisible Enemies of Freshwater Mussels [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021 Freshwater mussels are among the most endangered groups of fauna anywhere in world. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of resistant strains. These antibiotic-resistant bacteria play a key role in increasing the risk allied with the use of surface water and in spread of resistance genes.
