TLDR
In this study, soil samples were collected from three sites in petrochemical plant that represented different pollution levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, suggesting that PAHs could serve as one of selective stresses for greatly enriching of ARGs in the human-impacted environment.About:

Antibiotics in the Soil Environment-Degradation and Their Impact on Microbial Activity and Diversity.
TL;DR: The results presented in this review show that antibiotics affect soil microorganisms by changing their enzyme activity and ability to metabolize different carbon sources, as well as by altering the overall microbial biomass and the relative abundance of different groups in microbial communities.

Impacts and Effects Indicators of Atmospheric Deposition of Major Pollutants to Various Ecosystems - A Review
TL;DR: A review of the current understanding on ecosystem and human health impacts from the atmospheric deposition of acidifying pollutants, eutrophying nitrogen (N), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), mercury (Hg), trace metals, and ozone (O3), as well as the biological indicators that have been used to assess the health of ecosystems following exposure to these pollutants is presented in this article.

TL;DR: Analysis of ARG profiles in the sediments from a bullfrog farm demonstrated that use of the above-mentioned antibiotics led to complex pollution of ARGs not only related to beta-lactams and aminoglycoside but also to sulfonamides, tetracyclines, and macrolides.
Journal ArticleDOI
PAHs accelerate the propagation of antibiotic resistance genes in coastal water microbial community
TL;DR: Findings provided direct evidence that coastal microbial community exposed to PAHs might have resulted in the dissemination of ARGs and implied that a more comprehensive risk assessment ofPAHs to natural ecosystems and public health is necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial community and climate change implication affected the diversity and abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in wetlands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
TL;DR: A better understanding of the background levels of ARGs in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is provided, to shed light on the influence of climate change and increased human activities on the distribution of ARG.

Prevention of drug access to bacterial targets: permeability barriers and active efflux
TL;DR: As the pharmaceutical industry succeeds in producing agents that can overcome specific mechanisms of bacterial resistance, less specific resistance mechanisms such as permeability barriers and multidrug active efflux may become increasingly significant in the clinical setting.
