Insights into the relationship between antimicrobial residues and bacterial populations in a hospital-urban wastewater treatment plant system [PDF]

, 2014
The relationship between antimicrobial residues, antibiotic resistance prevalence and bacterial community composition in hospital effluent and in the receiving wastewater treatment plant was studied. Samples from hospital effluent, raw inflow and final

Introduction to wastewater microbiology: special emphasis on hospital wastewater

, 2020
The important role of proper sanitation in maintaining good public health has been confirmed in the past years. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) serve as efficient processes in removing pathogens, organic pollutants, nutrients, and pharmaceuticals from wastewaters.

Limited influence of hospital wastewater on the microbiome and resistome of wastewater in a community sewerage system [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2018
Effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been proposed to act as point sources of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. Hospital sewage may contribute to the spread of ARB and ARGs as it contains the feces and urine of hospitalized patients, who are more frequently colonized ...

Prevalence of Antibiotic and Heavy Metals Resistance in Coliforms Isolated from Hospital Wastewater

, 2018
Extensive and unregulated use of antibiotics favours the acquisition of resistance to antimicrobial agents. Hospitalized patients are at usually high risk of infections, and therefore the hospital surroundings favours the acquisition of resistance to ...
