Antibiotic contamination refers to the presence of antibiotic compounds in soil and aquatic environments as a result of agricultural runoff, pharmaceutical waste, and livestock operations. These compounds can be taken up by plants through their roots, potentially accumulating in plant tissues and disrupting normal growth, photosynthesis, and microbial symbiosis. Understanding how plants respond to and accumulate antibiotics is critical for assessing food safety risks and developing phytoremediation strategies to clean contaminated environments.
