Impact of Hospital Wastewater on the Occurrence and Diversity of Beta-Lactamase Genes During Wastewater Treatment with an Emphasis on Carbapenemase Genes: A Metagenomic Approach

Impact of Hospital Wastewater on the Occurrence and Diversity of Beta-Lactamase Genes During Wastewater Treatment with an Emphasis on Carbapenemase Genes: A Metagenomic Approach

The diversity of beta-lactam antibiotic resistance genes, with particular emphasis on carbapenemase genes, during the treatment process at two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) with different levels of hospital wastewater inflow was investigated using high-throughput sequencing. An additional aspe...
