. 2023 May;
116(7):667-685.
PMID: 37156983
The transformation of environmental microorganisms by extracellular DNA is an overlooked mechanism of horizontal gene transfer and evolution. It initiates the acquisition of exogenous genes and propagates antimicrobial resistance alongside...

Water Res
. 2023 Mar;
235:119905.
PMID: 36989799
Drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) are designed to remove physical, chemical, and biological contaminants. However, until recently, the role of DWTPs in minimizing the cycling of antibiotic resistance determinants has...

Front Microbiol
. 2022 Dec;
13:1066995.
PMID: 36532424
The success of antibiotics as a therapeutic agent has led to their ineffectiveness. The continuous use and misuse in clinical and non-clinical areas have led to the emergence and spread...
