• Correlation of tetracycline and sulfonamide antibiotics with corresponding resistance genes and resistant bacteria in a conventional municipal wastewater treatment plant. (2012, background): “05), suggesting that chlorinateddisinfection did not contribute much to the removal of tet and sul genes, which was in agreement with the results in our previous study (Munir et al., 2011).”
• Status of pathogens, antibiotic resistance genes and antibiotic residues in wastewater treatment systems (2017, background): “However, a recent research by Li et al. (2017) has shown that disinfection methods might increase the relative abundance of some genes, e.g., the sul and intI1 genes (Chen and Zhang 2013; Czekalski et al. 2012; Munir et al. 2011).”
• Urban wastewater treatment plants as hotspots for antibiotic resistant bacteria and genes spread into the environment: a review. (2013, background): “Also Munir et al. (2011) investigated the effect of five different UWTPs located in Michigan (U.S.A.) on the occurrence and release of ARGs and ARB into the environment.”
• Antibiotic Pollution in the Environment: From Microbial Ecology to Public Policy (2019, background): “While ARB and ARG abundances are highly reduced in the water fraction of sewage [71,74,75], WWTP treatment is much less successful in reducing the abundance of resistance genes in biosolids [74,76].”
• Metagenomic analysis reveals wastewater treatment plants as hotspots of antibiotic resistance genes and mobile genetic elements. (2017, result): “Previous reports demonstrate that effluents discharged 358 from WWTPs and landfill disposal of wasted sludge contribute to the widespread occurrence of ARGs 359 in natural environments (LaPara et al., 2011; Munir et al., 2011; Lupo et al., 2012; Pruden et al., 2012; 360 Threedeach et al., 2012).”
• Occurrence of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes in hospital and urban wastewaters and their impact on the receiving river. (2015, background): “…to the ARGs released into the environment and, 79 consequently, the emergence and potential spread of antibiotic resistance (Pruden et al., 2006; 80 Zhang et al., 2009; Munir et al., 2011; LaPara et al., 2011; Chen and Zhang, 2013; Marti and 81 Balcázar, 2013; Sidrach-Cardona et al., 2014).”
• Removal of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in various wastewater treatment processes: An overview (2020, background): “The highest removal of ARGs (tet(W), tet(O), sul1) was more than 2.67 log in the WWTP with MBR facility among the five WWTPs in Michigan, showing the better removal efficiency of MBR compared to other traditional biological processes (Munir et al., 2011).”
• Detection and fate of antibiotic resistant bacteria in wastewater treatment plants: a review. (2013, background): “Munir et al. (2010) reported high concentrations of tetracycline and sulfonamide resistant bacteria and sulfonamide resistant genes in raw sewage of five WWTP in Michigan.”
• Antimicrobials and Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria: A Risk to the Environment and to Public Health (2020, background): “Due to its high abundance of organic matter and nutrients, sewage sludge is commonly disposed of by spreading it over soil as part of agricultural management; however, sewage sludge is characterized by high levels of ARBs and ARGs removed from the incoming wastewater, which can pose a significant en”
• Management Options for Reducing the Release of Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Genes to the Environment (2013, background): “Wastewater is commonly disinfected via ultraviolet radiation or chlorination, which may kill resistant bacteria, but ARGs are more recalcitrant (Auerbach et al. 2007; Kim et al. 2010; McKinney and Pruden 2012; Munir et al. 2011).”
• Long-term field application of sewage sludge increases the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in soil. (2016, background): “ARGs have been detected at all stages of the municipal wastewater treatment process (Lachmayr et al., 2009; Munir et al., 2011), and the vast majority of ARGs are discharged from the municipal wastewater treatment process together”
• Microbiological Safety of Chicken Litter or Chicken Litter-Based Organic Fertilizers: A Review (2014, background): “[125] reported that chlorination did not contribute to a significant reduction of antibiotic resistant genes and antibiotic resistant bacteria.”
• Antibiotic-Resistance Genes in Waste Water. (2017, background): “[70], the concentrations of bacteria resistant to tetracycline and sulphonamides decreased several orders of magnitude in the treated water in comparison with the raw influent water, but the concentration of ARB remained very similar in pre- and post-disinfected effluents.”
