Co-Selection of Bacterial Metal and Antibiotic Resistance in Soil Laboratory Microcosms

Co-Selection of Bacterial Metal and Antibiotic Resistance in Soil Laboratory Microcosms

Accumulation of heavy metals (HMs) in agricultural soil following the application of superphosphate fertilisers seems to induce resistance of soil bacteria to HMs and appears to co-select for resistance to antibiotics (Ab). This study aimed to investigate the selection of co-resistance of soil bacte...
