Selective concentrations for trimethoprim resistance in aquatic environments

•Trimethoprim selects for resistant E. coli at 100 µg/L in complex communities.•Fitness cost of dfr-genes was reduced at 10 µg/L in pairwise competition assays.•Fitness costs are highly dependent on genetic and environmental contexts.•Thus, a reduction in cost is considered a risk, even if some cost...
