Reclaimed water as a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes: distribution system and irrigation implications

Treated wastewater is increasingly being reused to achieve sustainable water management in arid regions. The objective of this study was to quantify the distribution of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in recycled water, particularly after it has passed through the distribution system, and to cons...
