Microbial Community Composition and Antibiotic Resistance Genes Within a North Carolina Urban Water System
2018-09-14
Abstract excerpt
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are thought to be potential incubators of antibiotic resistance. Persistence of commonly used antibiotics in wastewater may increase the potential for selection of resistance genes transferred between bacterial populations, some of which may pose a threat to human health. In this study, we measured the concentrations of ten antibiotics in wastewater plant influents and effluents...
