Occurrence and toxicity of antibiotics in the aquatic environment: A review.
Pavla Kovalakova,Leslie Cizmas,Thomas J. McDonald,Blahoslav Maršálek,Mingbao Feng,Virender K. Sharma +5 more
TL;DR: The risk data indicate that selected antibiotics may pose a threat to aquatic environments, and Cyanobacteria were the most sensitive organisms when using standard ecotoxicological bioassays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic pollution in surface fresh waters: Occurrence and effects
TL;DR: Important aspects of antibiotic pollution in fresh waters are highlighted: that concentrations of antibiotics in the environment are substantial, that micro-organisms are susceptible to this, that bacteria can evolve resistance in the environments, and that antibiotic pollution affects natural food webs while interacting with other stressors; which taken together poses a number of challenges for environmental scientists.
Journal ArticleDOI
