Summary

This review examines how micro- and nanoplastics act as vectors for antibiotic resistance genes, facilitating their spread through environmental and biological systems by creating selective pressure and hosting microbial communities that exchange resistance determinants.

Water Emerging Contaminants & Nanoplastics is an open access international journal intended to publish high quality, peer-reviewed, and original researches related to pollutants of emerging concern in both the natural and anthropogenic water cycles, as well as its effects on the ecosystems like oceans and human health. The journal publishes research articles, reviews, perspectives, short communications, and letters to editor.
