TL;DR: This first trans-Europe surveillance showed that UWTP AR profiles mirror the AR gradient observed in clinics, and the need to implement regular surveillance and control measures, which may need to be appropriate for the geographic regions, is highlighted.

TL;DR: A new primer design tool was used to aid in identification of conserved regions of diverse genes and a reduction in old primer sets permitted 147 additional ARGs and mobile genetic elements to be targeted in the high-throughput antibiotic resistance gene qPCR array.

TL;DR: This prospectus presents the status and issues relevant to the environmental component of antibiotic resistance, namely, the needs for advancing surveillance methodology: the environmental reservoirs and sources of resistance, including, urban wastewater treatment plants, aquaculture production systems, soil receiving manure and biosolid, and the atmosphere which includes longer range dispersal.

TL;DR: How long-term common soil management practices affect the abundance and type of ARGs and MGEs in two very different soil environments, one aerobic and the other primarily anaerobic is shown.

TL;DR: Dibutyl phthalate was used as a model compound to investigate the effect and mechanism of extraneous DOM on the adsorption kinetics and isotherms of PAEs in two types of soils, and the FTIR spectra indicated that the intra-molecular and intermolescular hydrogen bond interactions of carboxylic acids, aromatic CC and CO in amides were involved in DBP adsor adaptation in soils.
