Microplastics Aided Augmentation of Antibiotic Resistance in WWTPs: A Global Concern
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines how microplastics in wastewater treatment plants adsorb antibiotics and facilitate biofilm formation, accelerating the spread of antibiotic resistance genes and antibiotic-resistant bacteria into surrounding ecosystems. The convergence of microplastic pollution and antibiotic resistance represents a dual public health threat, as WWTPs act as conduits that amplify and distribute both contaminants into waterways used for drinking and agriculture.
