Effect of Silver Nanoparticles and Antibiotics on Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Anaerobic Digestion
(Water Environment Federation, 2013-05)
Water resource recovery facilities have been described as creating breeding ground conditions for the selection, transfer, and dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) among various bacteria. The objective of ...
Microbial composition of purified waters and implications for regrowth control in municipal water systems
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-08-25)
The limits of water treatment to control microbial regrowth were examined using highly purified waters. Measurable microbial genetic material was detected in the product water in a survey of thirteen laboratory pure water ...
Survey of green building water systems reveals elevated water age and water quality concerns
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-11-05)
Widespread adoption of innovative water conservation strategies has potential unintended consequences for aesthetics and public health. A cross-section of green buildings were surveyed and compared to typical conventional ...
Enhanced disinfection by-product formation due to nanoparticles in wastewater treatment plant effluents
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-07-13)
Nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly being incorporated into consumer products and are being used for industrial applications in ways that will lead to their environmental dissemination via wastewater treatment plants ...
Translating research to policy at the NCSE 2017 symposium “Microbiology of the Built Environment: Implications for Health and Design”
(2018-09-15)
Abstract
Here, we summarize a symposium entitled “Microbiology of the Built Environment: Implications for Health and Design” that was presented at the National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) ...
Toxicity of Particulate Matter from Incineration of Nanowaste
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-01-13)
Disposal of some nanomaterial-containing waste by incineration and the subsequent formation of particulate matter (PM) along with hazardous combustion by-products are inevitable. The effect of nanomaterials on the toxicity ...
Reusing Treated Wastewater: Consideration of the Safety Aspects Associated with Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria and Antibiotic Resistance Genes
(MDPI, 2018-02-27)
As more countries engage in water reuse, either intended or de facto, there is an urgent need to more comprehensively evaluate resulting environmental and public health concerns. While antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) ...
Antimicrobial Resistance Mitigation [ARM] Concept Paper
(Virginia Tech, 2017-05-15)
The development of viable solutions to the global threat of antimicrobial resistance requires a transdisciplinary approach that simultaneously considers the clinical, biological, social, economic, and environmental drivers ...
Reclaimed water as a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes: distribution system and irrigation implications
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2013-05-28)
reated wastewater is increasingly being reused to achieve sustainable water management in arid regions. The objective of this study was to quantify the distribution of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in recycled water, ...
DeepARG: a deep learning approach for predicting antibiotic resistance genes from metagenomic data
(2018-02-01)
Abstract
Background
Growing concerns about increasing rates of antibiotic resistance call for expanded and comprehensive global monitoring. Advancing methods for monitoring ...
