Aquatic ecosystems are reservoirs of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), having a major role in their occurrence, accumulation and dissemination. The purpose of this review is to highlight the influence of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) effluents, manure and biosolids use in agriculture as well as of aquaculture upon the development of antibiotic resistance (AR). Research indicates the need to streamline treatment strategies in order to minimize the risk of AR spread in the aquatic environment through wastewater.
