Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) collect wastewater from various sources for a multi-
step treatment process. By mixing a large variety of bacteria and promoting their proximity …

To detect plasmid-borne antibiotic-resistance genes in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP)
bacteria, 192 resistance-gene-specific PCR primer pairs were designed and synthesized …

Antimicrobial pharmaceuticals are classified as emergent micropollutants of concern,
implying that even at low concentrations, long-term exposure to the environment can have …

This study aims to discuss the following:(1) occurrence and proliferation of antibiotic
resistance in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs);(2) factors influencing antibiotic …

This paper reviews current knowledge on sources, spread and removal mechanisms of
antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in microbial communities of wastewaters, treatment …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are an effective barrier in the protection of human
and environment health around the world, although WWTPs also are suggested to be …

Environmental dissemination of antimicrobial resistance is a global health problem.
Antimicrobial-resistant bacteria and antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs) are constantly …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) contain diverse antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs),
and thus are considered as a major pathway for the dissemination of these genes into the …

The intensive use of antibiotics results in their continuous release into the environment and
the subsequent widespread occurrence of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB), antibiotic …

The propagation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is an emerging health concern
worldwide. Thus, it is important to understand and mitigate their occurrence in different …
