Antibiotics (Basel)

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how pollution in aquatic ecosystems impacts the spread of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) among environmental bacteria.
- Samples were collected from a contaminated river to isolate Enterobacteria and assess the connection between urban pollution levels and antibiotic resistance.
- Isolates from the most polluted site showed higher numbers of ARGs and resistance, particularly one strain with resistance to seven antibiotics due to a single plasmid carrying multiple ARGs, highlighting the need for more research on pollution's role in spreading antimicrobial resistance.
