Article Synopsis
- The increase in antibiotic resistance poses a significant global health threat, with new research revealing that non-antibiotic chemicals, like herbicides, may contribute to this issue.
- Exposure to three common herbicides (glyphosate, glufosinate, and dicamba) was found to alter the antibiotic sensitivity of the model strain DH5, particularly enhancing its resistance to gentamicin and other antibiotics over time.
- Whole-genome sequencing indicated that these herbicides can cause genetic mutations in bacteria, which may further encourage the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in various environments.
