Genotypic and phenotypic traits of blaCTX-M-carrying Escherichia coli strains from an UV-C-treated wastewater effluent

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are relevant sources of antibiotic resistance into aquatic environments. Disinfection of WWTPs’ effluents (e.g. by UV-C irradiation) may attenuate this problem, though some clinically relevant bacteria have been shown to survive disinfection. In this study we char...
