<i>In Silico</i>Metagenomic Analysis of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in South American Wastewater Treatment Plants: A Baseline for Environmental Surveillance
2025-03-13
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are critical in mitigating the environmental dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). This metagenomic study examined the diversity and distribution of ARGs in activated sludge samples collected from six WWTPs across South America in 2015. The analysis revealed 63 unique ARGs, with a predominance of genes conferring resistance to aminoglycosides, be...
