The unintended consequences of a surge in antibiotic resistance when removing wastewater drain biofilm

2020-11-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> The prevalence and proliferation of antimicrobial resistant bacteria is considered one of the critical issues of our time. Wastewater is a habitat for complex microbial communities where bacteria share genes of antimicrobial resistance through horizontal gene transfer. Hospital wastewater drainage systems are an ideal reservoir for environmental and pathogenic bacteria to interface and exchange g...
