Pharmaceuticals as emerging contaminants and their removal from water. A review. (2013, background): “Thus, major efforts to investigate this problem and palliate its effects are prioritary (Daughton and Ternes, 1999; Kümmerer, 2004; Khetan and Collins, 2007; Kemper, 2008).”
Effluent from drug manufactures contains extremely high levels of pharmaceuticals. (2007, background): “Antibioticesistant bacteria are found in the aquatic environment, but to hat extent the antibiotics in the sewage effluents contribute to his development is also not clear [8].”
Antibiotics in the aquatic environment--a review--part II. (2009, background): “The numbers and types of resistant bacteria found in the effluent of the intensive care unit (ICU) of a hospital offering maximum medical service showed that the number in the ICU effluent and in the influent of the STP were in the same range in some studies and differed in others (Kümmerer, 2004).”
Antimicrobials and Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria: A Risk to the Environment and to Public Health (2020, background): “Recent microbiological and clinical evidence suggests that ARBs and ARGs are often transferred from food-producing animals to humans [115].”
Antibiotics in the aquatic environment--a review--part I. (2009, positive): “For the USA it is estimated to be approximately 17 g per capita and year, when calculated from the available data for use in human medicine (Kümmerer, 2004).”
Fate and transport of antibiotic residues and antibiotic resistance genes following land application of manure waste. (2009, background): “…reports, and opinion papers have emerged to address the possible link between antibiotic use and the impact on antibiotic resistance development (e.g., Kümmerer, 2004; Shea, 2004; Isaacson and Torrence, 2002; Séveno et al., 2002; USGAO, 1999; Khachatourians, 1998; Gustafson and Bowen, 1997).”
Detection and fate of antibiotic resistant bacteria in wastewater treatment plants: a review. (2013, background): “Researchers have studied the resistance against b-lactams, quinolones, tetracycline, sulfamathoxazole, trimethoprim and other sulphonamides in wastewater and sewage sludge using cultivation and resistance testing, as well as the detection of resistance encoding genes (Kümmerer, 2004; Schlüter et al.”
Antibiotic pollution in surface fresh waters: Occurrence and effects. (2019, background): “Prokaryote 17 microalgae (cyanobacteria) can be particularly vulnerable to antibiotics (Cabello, 2006) and 18 continuous exposure of the environment to antibiotics can enhance the selection of resistant 19 bacterial strains, which include potential pathogens (Kümmerer, 2004).”
Antibiotic-Resistance Genes in Waste Water. (2017, background): “Generally, hospital effluents contribute less than 1% of the total amount of municipal sewage, so hospital waste water is diluted extensively in WWTPs, suggesting that the municipal waste water also contains a high amount of ARB [60].”
Co-occurrence of resistance genes to antibiotics, biocides and metals reveals novel insights into their co-selection potential (2015, background): “In addition, environmental microbial communities maintain diverse collections of resistance genes which might be mobilized into pathogenic bacteria via HGT [7–11].”
