Air pollution by PM2.5 linked to rise in antibiotic resistance globally: Analysis

The study presented the first global estimates of antibiotic resistance and burden of premature deaths attributable to antibiotic resistance resulting from PM2.5 pollution. Significant correlations between PM2.5 and antibiotic resistance were consistent globally in most antibiotic-resistant bacteria and correlations have strengthened over time.
