Background: Heavy metals are one of the greatest environmental challenges worldwide. They can move to food chains from contaminated soil, water, and air, threatening human and animal health. Antibiotic resistance has become a major health challenge due to its use and misuse, and resistance to antibiotics by bacteria is due to changes in the genetic makeup.
