TY - T1 - Fecal pollution can explain antibiotic resistance gene abundances in anthropogenically impacted environments SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/310790 T3 - A1 - Karkman, Antti; Parnanen, Katariina; Larsson, D. G. Joakim A2 - PB - Y1 - 2019 LA - eng AB - Discharge of treated sewage leads to release of antibiotic resistant bacteria, resistance genes and antibiotic residues to the environment. However, it is unclear whether increased abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in sewage and sewage-impacted environments is due to on-site selection pressure by residual antibiotics, or is simply a result of fecal contamination with resistant bacteria. Here we analyze relative resistance gene abundance and accompanying extent of fecal pollution in public...
