Antimicrobials and resistance in the environment
This Collection aims to publish the latest research on antimicrobials and antimicrobial resistance in natural (e.g., soil, sediment, freshwater and marine) and engineered (e.g., wastewater treatment plant) environments.
The topics will include, but are not limited to:
- Evolution of antimicrobial resistance and its relevance to different environmental contexts
- Ecology of antimicrobial resistance in natural and engineered environments
- Epidemiology of environmental antimicrobial resistance, ‘One Health’ exposure routes and transmission pathways to humans and animals
- Environmental risk assessment, regulation and environmental policy of antimicrobial resistance
- Submissions regarding lesser-studied aspects of antimicrobial resistance in the environment are encouraged
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3.
