Profiling the bacterial microbiome diversity and assessing the potential to detect antimicrobial resistance bacteria in wastewater in Kimberley, South Africa

Abstract Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are hotspots for pathogens, and can facilitate horizontal gene transfer, potentially releasing harmful genetic material and antimicrobial resistance genes into the environment. Little information exists on the composition and behavior of microbes in WWTPs...
