Cross-environmental cycling of antimicrobial resistance in agricultural areas fertilized with poultry litter: A one health approach.

Poultry litter, commonly used as an organic fertilizer, can contain antimicrobial residues, resistant bacteria, and/or antimicrobial resistance genes. After application to soil, these contaminants can reach crops and be transported to aquatic systems through leaching and runoff. Once in water bodies, they can return to soil and crops through irrigation, establishing a cycle that promotes the selection, spread and persistence of antimicrobial resistance.

Risk assessment of national railway infrastructure due to sea-level rise: an application of a methodological framework in Italian coastal railways.

Nowadays, within the built environment, railway infrastructures play a key role to sustain national policies oriented toward promoting sustainable mobility. For this reason, national institutions and infrastructure managers need to increase their awareness in relation to the current and future climate risks on their representative systems. Among climate change impacts, preventing the effects of sea-level rise (SLR) on coastal railway infrastructures is a priority.
