Distinct accumulation and dissemination of intracellular and extracellular antibiotic resistance genes in nitrifying sludge under different microplastic stresses.
Microplastics (MPs) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are classified as emerging pollutants, that are frequently detected in municipal wastewater treatment plants, posing substantial risks to global public health. This study investigated the fate and dissemination profiles of intracellular ARGs (i-ARGs) and extrac...
