Extended spectrum β-lactamase and carbapenemase genes are substantially and sequentially reduced during conveyance and treatment of urban sewage
2020-11-12
Abstract excerpt
Integrated and quantitative observations of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in urban water systems (UWSs) are lacking. We sampled three UWSs for clinically important extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase (CP) genes, mobile genetic elements and microbial communities. Sewage – especially from hospitals – carried substantial loads of ESBL and CP genes (10 6 – 10 7 per person equivalent), but tho...
