Trimethoprim (TMP) as an aquatic pollutant poses ecological and human health-related risks as the antibiotic is highly soluble in water, resistant to biodegradation, and induces moderate chronic toxicity. Its prolonged presence in the environment resulted in certain bacteria strains developing antib...
