Antimicrobial Resistance of Waste Water Microbiome in an Urban Waste Water Treatment Plant
The study assessed the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) rate in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) using culture-dependent and PCR methods. Results showed that wastewater treatment increased tetracycline and ciprofloxacin-resistant bacteria by 67% and 61%, respectively, and increased the incidence of Enterobacteriaceae resistant to ciprofloxacin, co-trimoxazole, and cephalosporins. However, only tetracycline resistance and decreased high-level gentamicin resistance were significant.
