Dataset of Paper "Microplastics in fresh- and wastewater are potential contributors to antibiotic resistance - A minireview"
AI summary Read the abstract
This entry provides a supporting dataset for a minireview on microplastics in freshwater and wastewater as potential contributors to antibiotic resistance spread. The tables document reported abundances and characteristics of microplastics and antibiotic resistance elements across water environments. It is a dataset rather than an original research paper.

Microplastics in fresh- and wastewater are potential contributors to antibiotic resistance - A minireview
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the link between microplastic pollution and the spread of antibiotic resistance in freshwater environments, finding that microplastic surfaces host unique bacterial communities enriched in antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the resistance genes they can share with other microbes. The close packing of bacteria in these plastic-surface biofilms may accelerate the spread of drug-resistant pathogens through drinking water sources, though the full health implications remain poorly understood.

This is a dataset accompanying a study on antibiotic-resistant bacteria in biofilms growing on microplastics in wastewater treatment plant effluents. The data include DNA sequencing results showing which bacterial species colonize plastic surfaces in treated wastewater.
Microplastics and Antibiotic Resistance: The Magnitude of the Problem and the Emerging Role of Hospital Wastewater
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines how microplastics in water can carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria and spread resistance genes, especially through hospital wastewater. Microplastics provide a surface where bacteria easily form colonies and share resistance genes, creating a potential threat to human health. The authors call for better wastewater management to reduce this emerging risk.
