Research on Control and Disinfection Techniques for the Spread of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria in Hospital Wastewater
The global spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria(ARBs)and resistance genes(ARGs)has become an important threat to human health and safety.Hospitals are places where antibiotic contamination is concentrated;The wastewater discharged is an important pathway for the spread of drug-resistant bacteria.Therefore,the application of green and efficient disinfection techniques is of great significance for controlling the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria.This paper reviews the research progress of the main disinfection techniques for the spread of antibiotic resistance in hospital wastewater.These technologies not only include traditional oxidation processes,but also advanced oxidation processes(AOPs);The paper introduces the application and research status of these technologies,and analyzes their performance in removing drug-resistant pathogens and genes.While,prospects for future research and application directions of disinfection technology were proposed.
