Metagenomic and network analysis reveal wide distribution and co-occurrence of environmental antibiotic resistance genes (2015, methodology): “Among these subtypes, tetM, tetW, ermB and sul1 have also been frequently detected in STP influents of US (Gao et al., 2012), China (Chen and Zhang, 2013) The ISME Journal and Estonia (Nõlvak et al., 2013) using qPCR methods, within the abundance ratio ranging from ~2.0 × 10− 5 to ~ 5.0 × 10− 2.”
Detection and fate of antibiotic resistant bacteria in wastewater treatment plants: a review. (2013, background): “They found relatively high concentrations of antibiotic resistance genes and antibiotic resistant bacteria in the treated effluent and observed no apparent decrease in the concentrations of tetracycline and sulfonamide resistance gene by chlorine disinfection (Gao et al., 2012).”
Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) for Environmental Development and Transfer of Antibiotic Resistance (2013, background): “…environmental and pathogenic bacteria and their resistance determinants (Börjesson et al. 2009; Chagas et al. 2011; Chen et al. 2011; Cummings et al. 2011; Forsberg et al. 2012; Gao et al. 2012; Qiu et al. 2012) has yet to be quanti fied, but is of global concern (Finley et al. 2013; WHO 2012a).”
Occurrence of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes in hospital and urban wastewaters and their impact on the receiving river. (2015, background): “…on the 83 link between the presence of a limited number of antibiotics and the prevalence of some selected 84 ARGs in environmental settings (Gao et al., 2012; Li et al., 2012; Huerta et al., 2013; Marti et al., 85 2013; Varela et al., 2014; Xu et al., 2014), but none f them have performed…”
Management Options for Reducing the Release of Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Genes to the Environment (2013, background): “In a recent study of a domestic WWTP, Gao et al. (2012) observed a correlation between certain sulfonamide ARGs and sulfonamide anti biotics, but no correlation between tetracycline ARGs and corresponding anti biotics.”
Status of pathogens, antibiotic resistance genes and antibiotic residues in wastewater treatment systems (2017, background): “…to other advanced treatment processes namely, constructed wetlands (Chen and Zhang 2013), a biological aerated filter (Chen and Zhang 2013), UV (Gao et al. 2012; Munir et al. 2011), coagulation with FeCl3 and PFC, had the best ARG removal efficiency resulted in better treatment efficiencies…”
Urban wastewater treatment plants as hotspots for the release of antibiotics in the environment: a review. (2013, background): “Erythromycin-H2O was degraded by 15% and 26% in activated sludge processes at Shatin and Stanley UWTP, respectively (Li and Zhang, 2011), and up to 10% in two Swiss UWTPs (Göbel et al., 2007).”
