"Colistin and carbapenems as last-resort antibiotics: Challenging envir" by Elipsha Sharma, Yan Chen et al.
Colistin and carbapenems, vital last-resort antibiotics against severe bacterial infections unresponsive to common drugs, pose a threat when resistance develops as it may leads to complete antibiotic ineffectiveness. The estimation and quantification of colistin and carbapenems in environmental samples is challenging due to their low concentrations, complex structures, stability issues, and potential interference from other substances. Despite known side-effects, the biological impacts of their residues recirculated in the environment has not yet been evaluated. This review provides an in-dept...
