Environment
The environment plays a significant role both in the spread of antibiotic resistant pathogens and the emergence of resistance in pathogens by transmission of resistant genes from harmless bacteria. The presence of antibiotics in the environment is known to increase these processes, as seen in environments polluted by waste from the production of antibiotics.
