This study shows that higher temperatures increase natural ARG abundance in river biofilms but accelerate the loss of invading wastewater-born ARGs.

This study shows cigarette smoke increases antimicrobial resistance transfer between bacteria in lung and environmental settings.

The paper investigates whether microbial diversity acts as a barrier to the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes in the environment, finding that higher diversity correlates with lower ARG abundance in structured soils but not in dynamic rivers.

This study investigates how environmental stress affects the invasion of antimicrobial resistant bacteria into river microbial communities, finding that stress enhances invasion success by reducing community diversity.

This paper develops a sequencing-independent method to quantify the linkage between antibiotic resistance genes and mobile genetic elements using ddPCR, demonstrating its accuracy and applicability in environmental samples.

This study tracks microbiome and resistome changes along a sewage-effluent-reservoir system, showing that ecological interactions in reservoirs reduce antibiotic resistance more than physical processes in treatment reactors.

The paper shows that interspecific competition can reduce plasmid maintenance in microbial communities by increasing plasmid costs and accelerating plasmid loss from focal species.

The paper shows that zinc cations increase the minimal selective concentration for ciprofloxacin resistance in E. coli by up to 5-fold.

This study shows that antibiotic resistance selection is significantly reduced in natural microbial communities compared to single-species cultures.
