Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in hospital wastewater:a reservoir that may be unrelated to clinical isolates [star] [PDF]

, 2016
Summary Background: Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are an emerging infection control problem in hospitals worldwide. Identifying carriers can help reduce potential spread and infections.

Genotoxicity evaluation of hospital wastewaters

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2009
In hospitals a large variety of substances are in use for medical purposes such as diagnostics and research. After application, diagnostic agents, disinfectants and excreted non-metabolized pharmaceuticals by patients reach the wastewater. Indeed, some of the substances found in wastewaters are genotoxic and are suspected to be a possible cause of the ...

The treatment of hospital wastewater: an appraisal [PDF]

Journal of Water and Health, 2006
Hospitals discharge considerable amounts of chemicals and microbial agents in their wastewaters. Problem chemicals present in hospital wastewater belong to different groups, such as antibiotics, X-ray contrast agents, disinfectants and pharmaceuticals. Many of these chemical compounds resist normal wastewater treatment.

Antibiotic resistance genes in bacteriophages from wastewater treatment plant and hospital wastewaters

Science of The Total Environment, 2023
Antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) are a major health risk caused particularly by anthropogenic activities. Acquisition of antibiotic resistances by bacteria is known to have happened before the discovery of antibiotics and can occur through different routes.

Metagenomic Analysis Reveals Changes in Bacterial Communities and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in an Eye Specialty Hospital and a General Hospital Before and After Wastewater Treatment

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in hospital wastewater poses a great threat to public health, and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) play an important role in reducing the levels of ARB and ARGs ...
