The intensive use of antibiotics results in their continuous release into the environment and
the subsequent widespread occurrence of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB), antibiotic …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are emerging contaminants that pose a potential threat
to human health worldwide. Urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are a main source …

Background There is concern that the microbially rich activated sludge environment of
wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) may contribute to the dissemination of antibiotic …

Abstract In the One Health context, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are central to
safeguarding water resources. Nonetheless, many questions remain about their …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) constantly receive a wide variety of contaminants,
including pharmaceuticals, and are potential reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are a source and reservoir for subsequent spread of
various antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, little is known about the activity and …

The presence of antibiotics can exert significant selection pressure on the emergence and
spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) …

Currently, the effects of high antibiotic concentrations on the performance of microbiota and
antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in activated sludge (AS) process are not well …

This study investigated the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the influent,
effluent, and waste activated sludge (WAS) of eight full-scale municipal wastewater …

The increased antibiotic resistance among microorganisms has resulted into growing
interest for investigating the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) as they are reported to be …
