Microplastic-associated antimicrobial resistance: an AI-aided systematic literature review and distribution mapping

Open MIND 2025
Luise N. Nottmeyer, Aishwarya Girish, Marina Treskova

Summary

An AI-aided systematic literature review and distributional analysis examined microplastic-associated antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in aquatic and other environments. The authors found growing evidence that microplastics accelerate AMR spread, with important implications for environmental and health policy.

Plastic and microplastics are suspected to accelerate antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in aquatic and other environments. An increasing literature body offers insights into this with implications for health and environmental policy. Studies analysing the relationship vary greatly in design. Here we aim to map and summarize the extensive body of peer-reviewed articles on plastisphere-related AMR research.
