Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), QAC resistance genes, and QAC tolerant bacteria in livestock and human waste streams
2026-05-17
Abstract excerpt
Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are high production volume biocidal compounds increasingly scrutinized for their potential to promote antimicrobial resistance spread. This study compared the release of QACs, QAC resistance indicator genes ( qacE/qacEΔ1 ), and QAC tolerant bacteria from livestock and human waste streams into the environment. Five livestock farms with on-farm biogas plants (BGPs), a rural and...
