Concentrations of antibiotics predicted to select for resistant bacteria: Proposed limits for environmental regulation
There are concerns that selection pressure from antibiotics in the environment may accelerate the evolution and dissemination of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Nevertheless, there is currently no regulatory system that takes such risks into account. In part, this is due to limited knowledge of envi...
