The effect of waste-water treatment on the dissemination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in an urban setting.

Title

The effect of waste-water treatment on the dissemination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in an urban setting.

Description

Several studies have linked treated wastewater to an increased number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and antibiotic-resistance genes in waterways (Osinska, 2021). The goal of this study was to explore trends in different types of microbes including gram-negative and lactose fermenting bacteria. Our research utilized the EPA-approved membrane filtration methods and screened for bacterial resistance to ampicillin, and kanamycin. ANOVA tests ran on our results found no significant differences between bacteria colonies from upstream and downstream samples.
