Fate of cefotaxime-resistant enterobacteriaceae and ESBL-producers over a full-scale wastewater treatment process with UV disinfection

Disinfection by UV radiation is one of themost promising solutions to reduce the bacterial load and antibiotic resistance in the final effluents of urban wastewater treatment plants (UWTP). Our aim was to evaluate the fate of cefotaxime-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactama...
