Synthetic Nuclease-Producing Microbiome Achieves Efficient Removal of Extracellular Antibiotic Resistance Genes from Wastewater Effluent
7 Dec 2023
Abstract excerpt
Antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) transmission poses significant threats to human health. The effluent of wastewater treatment plants is demonstrated as a hotspot source of ARGs released into the environment. In this study, a synthetic microbiome containing nuclease-producing Deinococcus radiodurans was constructed to remove extracellular ARGs. Results of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) showed...
