Journal ArticleDOI
Tackling antibiotic resistance: the environmental framework
Thomas U. Berendonk,Célia M. Manaia,Christophe Merlin,Despo Fatta-Kassinos,Eddie Cytryn,Fiona Walsh,Helmut Bürgmann,Henning Sørum,Madelaine Norström,Marie-Noëlle Pons,Norbert Kreuzinger,Pentti Huovinen,Stefania Stefani,Thomas Schwartz,Veljo Kisand,Fernando Baquero,José L. Martínez +16 more
TL;DR: The main knowledge gaps, the future research needs and the policy and management options that should be prioritized to tackle antibiotic resistance in the environment are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy metal driven co-selection of antibiotic resistance in soil and water bodies impacted by agriculture and aquaculture.
TL;DR: Analysis of data indicates that agricultural and aquacultural practices represent major sources of soil and water contamination with moderately to highly toxic metals such as mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn), which can trigger co-selection of antibiotic resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin and evolution of antibiotic resistance: the common mechanisms of emergence and spread in water bodies
TL;DR: Freshwater appears to play an important role in the emergence and in the spread of antibiotic resistances, highlighting the necessity for strategies of water quality improvement and further knowledge is needed to better understand the role of the environment as reservoir of antibiotics resistances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic resistance in European wastewater treatment plants mirrors the pattern of clinical antibiotic resistance prevalence

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic residues in final effluents of European wastewater treatment plants and their impact on the aquatic environment
Sara Rodríguez-Mozaz,Ivone Vaz-Moreira,Saulo Varela Della Giustina,Marta Llorca,Damià Barceló,Sara Schubert,Thomas U. Berendonk,I. Michael-Kordatou,Despo Fatta-Kassinos,José L.

TL;DR: Three compounds, ciprofloxacin, azithromycin and cefalexin are proposed as markers of antibiotic pollution, as they could occasionally pose a risk to the environment.
