Cell-Free DNA: An Underestimated Source of Antibiotic Resistance Gene Dissemination at the Interface Between Human Activities and Downstream Environments in the Context of Wastewater Reuse

Cell-Free DNA: An Underestimated Source of Antibiotic Resistance Gene Dissemination at the Interface Between Human Activities and Downstream Environments in the Context of Wastewater Reuse

The dissemination of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the biggest challenges faced by mankind in the public health domains. It is currently favored by a lack of confinement between waste disposal and food production in the environmental compartment. To date, much effort has been devoted into...
