Occurrence and removal of antibiotics, antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes in hospital wastewater treatment system

Hospital wastewater treatment systems are a significant source of antibiotic resistance genes and a crucial hub for transmitting ARGs from clinical to natural environments. To further comprehend the dynamic changes of resistomics in hospital wastewater systems. In this study, using metagenomics analysis to link the antibiotic resistome, bacterial communities, and metals in the wastewater treatment systems of five hospitals.
