The Silent Catalyst: Deconstructing Pesticide-Induced Antimicrobial Resistance in Global Food Systems

Agricultural chemicals like pesticides and herbicides drive antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Exposure triggers mutations, horizontal gene transfer, and efflux pump activity in bacteria like E. coli. Climate change and industrial waste exacerbate this global threat.
