Antibiotic resistance in agroecosystems
Anthropogenic sources common to agriculture (i.e. recycled wastewater used for irrigation and manure-based fertilizers) can transfer antibiotic resistant bacteria and genes to soil and crops, potentially contributing to the global dissemination of antimicrobial resistance. Using a one-health approach, we are trying to understand the scope and dynamics of antibiotic resistance in order to mitigate this phenomenon in agroecosystems in the future.
