Plasmid metagenome reveals high levels of antibiotic resistance genes and mobile genetic elements in activated sludge.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2011

Zhang Tong, Zhang Xu-Xiang, Ye Lin

Abstract excerpt

The overuse or misuse of antibiotics has accelerated antibiotic resistance, creating a major challenge for the public health in the world. Sewage treatment plants (STPs) are considered as important reservoirs for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and activated sludge characterized with high microbial density and diversity facilitates ARG horizontal gene transfer (HGT) via mobile genetic elements (MGEs). However,...
