Evidence for the adaptation of bacterial populations to antibiotics degradation in agricultural soils
2013
Martin-Laurent, Fabrice | Topp, Edward
A recent study has reported accelerated biodegradation of antibiotics in agricultural soils repeatedly amended with sewage manure contaminated by veterinary antibiotics. This pioneer work carried out by the research team directed by Dr E Topp (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada) led to the characterization of sail microbial communities able to degrade sulfamethazine, an antibiotic belonging to sulphonamides. They showed that up to 30% of 14C0
