A Glyphosate-Based Herbicide Cross-Selects for Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Bacterioplankton Communities

A Glyphosate-Based Herbicide Cross-Selects for Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Bacterioplankton Communities

ABSTRACT Agrochemicals often contaminate freshwater bodies, affecting microbial communities that underlie aquatic food webs. For example, the herbicide glyphosate has the potential to indirectly select for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Such cross-selection could occur if the same genes (encoding ef...
