Does nano silver promote the selection of antibiotic resistance genes in soil and plant?

Growing evidences have demonstrated that heavy metal contamination can promote the proliferation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) via co-selection. However, effects of nano-metal-materials on the occurrence and level of ARGs in the soil and plant, have not been fully explored. To gain insights...
