Heavy metal co-resistance with antibiotics amongst bacteria isolates from an open dumpsite soil

Heavy metal co-resistance with antibiotics appears to be synergistic in bacterial isolates via similar mechanisms. This synergy has the potential to amplify antibiotics resistance genes in the environment which can be transferred into clinical settings. The aim of this study was to assess the co-res...
