Why is it important?
The Marikina River in the Philippines is subject to increasing anthropogenic pollution from agricultural and municipal effluents, potentially facilitating the persistence and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Perspectives
The findings underscore the need for continued surveillance, particularly in upstream areas, to better understand the contribution of anthropogenic activities to the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the river. Such investigations are essential for informing authorities and policymakers and for guiding evidence-based management, mitigation, and remediation strategies.
