Antibiotics are likely the most important compounds used for human therapy. Conversely, antibiotic resistance is a relevant medical problem. However, besides their relevance for human health, antibiotics and their resistance genes are important elements that can influence the structure of microbial populations. In this article, we discuss antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes in non-clinical environments.
抗生素可能是用于人类治疗的最重要的化合物。相反,抗生素耐药性是一个相关的医学问题。然而,除了它们对人类健康的重要性之外,抗生素及其耐药基因是能够影响微生物种群结构的重要因素。在本文中,我们讨论非临床环境中的抗生素和抗生素耐药基因。
