However, over time, antimicrobial resistance has accelerated and is now a significant global public health concern. Understanding societal preferences for the use of antibiotics as well as eliciting the willingness to pay for future research is crucial.Objective To investigate preferences for different ...
both increased prevalence of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) and their spread across species by horizontal gene transfer (HGT). However, the impact on the wider community of commensal microbes associated with the human body, the microbiome, is less well understood. Small-scale studies...
Existing studies investigating the effects of pharmaceutical effluents on aquatic environment mostly focus on only one or few endpoints, reporting for instance only chemical analyses of the pharmaceuticals in the wastewaters (Fick et al., 2009), only analyses of antimicrobial resistance (Guardabassi et...
ECDC/EFSA/EMA second joint report on the integrated analysis of the consumption of antimicrobial agents and occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria from humans and food-producing animals. EFSA J. 15, e04872 (2017). Van Boeckel, T. P. et al. Global trends in antimicrobial use in ...
For textiles containing nanosilver, we assessed benefit (antimicrobial efficacy) in parallel with potential to release nanosilver (impact) during multiple life cycle stages. The silver loading and method of silver attachment to the textile highly influenced the silver release during washing. Multiple se...
Resistance evolution Fitness costs 1. Introduction Global warming has escalated environmental problems, such as high temperatures, droughts, wildfires, and torrential rainfall. It has also amplified human health risks, such as increased bacterial resistance, regarded as one of the greatest threats to hum...

-resistant organisms and antimicrobial agents from various sources but also potential sources of ARGs. ARGs are discharged into natural water bodies through WWTP wastewater, which is the main pathway for local bacteria to develop antibiotic resistance....
The advanced technologies described in this chapter should allow for full inventories to be made of bacterial genes, their time- and place-dependent expression, and the resulting proteins as well as their outcome metabolites. The evolution of these molec
