Why is it important?
The Marikina River in the Philippines is faced with problems caused by urbanization through the indiscriminate discharge of agricultural and municipal effluents, thus making the river potentially take part in the transmission of antimicrobial resistance (AR).
Perspectives
The findings underscore the need for further surveillance, particularly in upstream areas, to better understand how human activities are contributing to the progression of AR in the river. Such studies are essential to keep authorities and policymakers informed and to guide more effective management and remediation efforts.
