Highly sensitive detection of antimicrobial resistance genes in hospital wastewater using the multiplex hybrid capture target enrichment

mSphere, 2023
Wastewater can be useful in monitoring the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) within a hospital. The abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in hospital effluent was assessed using metagenomic sequencing (mDNA-seq) and hybrid capture (xHYB).

Effect of cytostatic drug presence on extracellular polymeric substances formation in municipal wastewater treated by membrane bioreactor [PDF]

, 2010
The effect of the cyclophosphamide and its mean metabolites on extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) formation was investigated. Two lab-scale membrane bioreactors were followed in parallel (one with the cytostatic drugs, the second without ...
