Occurrence and Distribution of Antibiotic-resistant Bacteria and Transfer of Resistance Genes in Lake Taihu
TL;DR: Investigation of antibiotic resistance in Lake Taihu revealed high percentages of resistance to streptomycin and ampicillin among bacterial isolates, followed by tetracycline and chloramphenicol, and concluded that some new families of human-associated ESBLs and AmpC genes can be found in natural environmental isolate.
Journal ArticleDOI
The uptake and elimination of ZnO and CuO nanoparticles in Daphnia magna under chronic exposure scenarios.
TL;DR: The results indicate that D. magna can regulate its internal zinc and copper concentration after Exposure to ZnO and CuO nanoparticles, similar as after exposure to metal salts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human exposure to nanoparticles through trophic transfer and the biosafety concerns that nanoparticle-contaminated foods pose to consumers
TL;DR: A review of the ways that nanoparticles can enter human body, animals, plants and the environment can be found in this article, focusing on the potential biosafety problems NPs might cause upon entering the human body.

Probing the Cytotoxicity Of Semiconductor Quantum Dots.
TL;DR: This work found that CdSe-core QDs were indeed acutely toxic under certain conditions and modulated by processing parameters during synthesis, exposure to ultraviolet light, and surface coatings, and suggests that cytotoxicity correlates with the liberation of free Cd2+ ions due to deterioration of the Cd Se lattice.
