污水处理厂中四环素和磺胺类抗生素抗性基因的分布、传播及去除

近年来,抗生素滥用造成的抗性基因(ARGs)污染问题引起了人们的关注.四环素及磺胺类抗生素由于价格低廉被广泛使用,大量残留的四环素和磺胺通过各种途径进入污水处理厂,并进一步导致ARGs的污染.为深入了解四环素和磺胺类ARGs的污染及治理现状,本研究对污水处理厂中四环素和磺胺类ARGs的分布情况及传播机制进行了综述,并重点讨论了不同污水处理工艺对ARGs的去除效果.在此基础上,从加大污水处理厂ARGs污染调查、改进污水处理工艺以及探讨ARGs传播机制等方面进行了展望.

Distribution,diffuse, and removal of tetracyclines and sulfonamide antibiotic resistance genes in wastewater treatment plant: A review.

The contamination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) caused by abuse of antibiotics has attracted more and more attention. Due to their low price, tetracyclines and sulfonamides are widely used. The plenty of residual tetracyclines and sulfonamides is discharged into wastewater treatment plant (WWTPs), with consequent ARGs pollution. To understand the current status of ARGs contamination and removal efficiency, we summarized the distribution and spread mechanism of tetracyclines and sulfonamides ARGs, and further emphasized the ARGs removal efficiency across different treatment technologies. Based on the current knowledge and lack of ARGs, future work were proposed, such as investigating ARGs contamination in WWTPs, improving ARGs removal technologies, exploring spread mechanisms of ARGs.
