Sewage sludge isn’t just waste, it can be a hotspot for antimicrobial resistance.

This study on @FEMSmicrobes uncovers multidrug-resistant bacteria, high AMR-gene abundance, and metal-tolerant strains in STP sludge, highlighting why environmental screening is crucial for AMR control.

STP sludge study reveals diverse drug-resistant bacteria harboring ARGs, stressing screening to curb AMR and environmental risks.
