Risks of antibiotic resistance genes and antimicrobial resistance under chlorination disinfection with public health concerns

As a widely used disinfection technology, the effects of chlorination on antibiotic resistome and bacterial community received great scientific concerns, while the pathogens associated health risks kept largely unknown. With this concern, the present study used metagenomic analysis combined with cul...
