Tóm tắt

 We assess three words commonly used to represent the environmental dimensions of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) - 'hotspot', 'reservoir' and 'pristine' - through two questions: how are these terms used in published research
  and how do these terms shape research being conducted? We advocate for the community to reflect on and improve its use of language, and suggest four potentially more productive and precise terms for AMR hazard: presence
  transmission
  evolution and connectivity.
