Products from Photolysis Reactions of Tetracycline Mediated by Clay and Humic Substance Induce Contrasting Expressions of Target Resistance Genes

Phototransformation is a key process affecting the fate of many antibiotics in the environment, but little is known about whether their photoproducts exert selective pressure on bacteria by inducing antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Here, we examined the expression of tetracycline resistance gene
