Sulfonamide and tetracycline resistance genes in total- and culturable-bacterial assemblages in South African aquatic environments

Sulfonamide and tetracycline resistance genes in total- and culturable-bacterial assemblages in South African aquatic environments

Antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) are ubiquitous in the natural environment. The introduction of effluent derived antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) into aquatic environments is of concern in the spreading of genetic risk. This study showed the prevalence of sulfonamide and tetracycline resistance...
