- Additional information
- This collaborative work between the Universities of Nottingham and York provides the first study that evaluates antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in faecal waste from wildlife spanning a site area with process environments including a small sewage treatment plant and dairy farm. Outcomes showed distinct resistance profiles depending on the process environment and highlighted that wildlife also harbours resistance of clinical prevalence. For the first time, this questions the reliability of using wildlife as sentinels of anthropogenic antimicrobial resistance in process environments.
