The effect of bacterial functional characteristics on the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in Expanded Granular Sludge Bed reactor treating the antibiotic wastewater

Abstract excerpt

To explore the fate and spreading mechanism of antibiotics resistance genes (ARGs) in antibiotics wastewater system, a laboratory-scale (1.47 L) Expanded Granular Sludge Bed (EGSB) bioreactor was implemented. The operating parameters temperature (T) and hydraulic retention time (HRT) were mainly considered. This result showed the removal of ARGs and COD was asynchronous, and the recovery speed of ARGs removal was...
