Microbial Community Composition and Antibiotic Resistance Genes within a North Carolina Urban Water System

Microbial Community Composition and Antibiotic Resistance Genes within a North Carolina Urban Water System

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are thought to be potential incubators of antibiotic resistance. Persistence of commonly used antibiotics in wastewater may increase the potential for selection of resistance genes transferred between bacterial populations, some of which might pose a threat to hum...
