Computational Model To Quantify the Growth of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria in Wastewater

Computational Model To Quantify the Growth of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria in Wastewater

ABSTRACT Although wastewater and sewage systems are known to be significant reservoirs of antibiotic-resistant bacterial populations and periodic outbreaks of drug-resistant infection, there is little quantitative understanding of the drivers behind resistant population growth in these settings. In...
