Reusable immobilised quaternary ammonium particles reduce microbial and resistome burdens without promoting resistance selection during wastewater post-treatment
2026-03-26
Abstract excerpt
Wastewater treatment plants act as convergence zones for antibiotic residues, antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB), and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), yet conventional processes are not designed to mitigate resistance dissemination from their effluents. While chemical disinfectants are generally effective, soluble quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) can generate subinhibitory exposure gradients that promot...
