Can radicals-orientated chemical oxidation improve the reduction of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) by mesophilic anaerobic digestion of sludge?

Jiaqi Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the control of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) abundance in waste activated sludge (WAS) by chemical conditioning and mesophilic anaerobic digestion (MAD). Results showed that oxidation pretreatment increased the relative abundance of most ARGs, while MAD with PMS@80 degrees C pretreatment increased the absolute abundance of total ARGs. However, the elimination of ARGs by MAD was limited due to high competitive organics in the sludge.
