The global dissemination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) is one of the most important issues for current medicine, having serious implications for public health. Particular concern has been raised regarding the increasing occurrence of multidrug-resistant bacteria in the environment and wildlife. ...
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a serious and growing threat to human health and national healthcare systems. In particular, Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) Gram-negative strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are of grave concern [1,2]. Afte...
Levels of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and the fractions of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) among culturable heterotrophic bacteria were compared in outdoor air near conventional (n = 3) and organic (n = 3) cattle rearing facilities. DNA extracts from filters taken from 18 locations ...
Antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) have become increasing concerning issues, threatening human health. Persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (PS-AOPs), due to their remarkable potential in combating antibiotic resistance, have garnered significant attention in ...
Bacteria containing ARGs are discharged through drainage, treated wastewater, and solid waste from livestock farms into various receiving environments. HGT may occur between antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and indigenous bacteria by three main mechanisms: conjugation, transformation, and transduction, wit...
2. Antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistant genes in WWTPs 2.1. Fate of ARB in WWTPs Wastewater treatment generally involves three stages: pri- mary, secondary, and tertiary treatment. In primary treatment, solids are removed by physical (unit) operations. In secondary ...
Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) are one of the major global health challenges of our time. In addition to developing new antibiotics to combat ARB, sensitizing ARB, or pursuing alternatives to existing antibiotics are promising options to counter antibiotic resistance. This rev...
While WWTPs are generally quite effective in removing antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and resistance genes (ARGs) from the raw sewage8,9,10,11 they are important point sources for ARBs and ARGs to the environment due to the large volumes released. The receiving environments form another ...
The removal of antibiotics, antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB), and cell-free antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs) and the microbial community of ARB were investigated in detail to understand their fate and provide valuable information on the feasibility of full-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR). The po...
Antibiotics residues (AR), antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) are a new class of water contaminants, due to their adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems and human health. Contamination of water bodies occurs mainly by the excretion of antibiotics incompletely ...
