Abstract

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes are in water bodies.

UV/chlorination method is better to remove ARGs than UV or chlorination alone.

Research on UV/hydrogen peroxide to eliminate ARGs is forthcoming.

UV-based photocatalytic processes are effective to degrade ARGs.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have been recognized as one of the biggest public health issues of the 21st century. Both ARB and ARGs have been determined in water after treatment with conventional disinfectants. Ultraviolet (UV) technology has been seen growth in application to disinfect the water. However, UV method alone is not adequate to degrade ARGs in water. Researchers are investigating the combination of UV with other oxidants (chlorine, hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), peroxymonosulfate (PMS), and photocatalysts) to harness the high reactivity of produced reactive species (Cl·, ClO·, Cl₂·⁻, ·OH, and SO₄·⁻) in such processes with constituents of cell (e.g., deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and its components) in order to increase the degradation efficiency of ARGs. This paper briefly reviews the current status of different UV-based treatments (UV/chlorination, UV/H₂O₂, UV/PMS, and UV-photocatalysis) to degrade ARGs and to control horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in water. The review also provides discussion on the mechanism of degradation of ARGs and application of q-PCR and gel electrophoresis to obtain insights of the fate of ARGs during UV-based treatment processes.

The symbols represent the measured data and the error bars represent one standard deviation from triplicate experiments. The lines are linear regressions of the data.

Fig.2 ((a), left) Total bacteria abundance in the feed and filtrate obtained from UF experiments. The secondary wastewater effluent was filtered by the pristine PVDF and TiO₂-modified PVDF membranes until the permeate volume reached 250 mL, at a pressure of 1.4 bar (20 psi) and temperature of 25.0°C±0.5°C. ((a), right) Photocatalytic degradation of total bacteria on the surface of the pristine PVDF and TiO₂-modified PVDF membranes before and after exposure to UV for 1 h. (b) CFU of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) on the surfaces of the pristine PVDF membrane and TiO₂-modified PVDF membrane, respectively, before and after exposure to UV irradiation, measured via spread plate method. Microscopic images of ARB are shown in the inset with a 2-mm scale bar. (Adapted from (^{Ren et al., 2018}) with the permission of the American Chemical Society).

Fig.3 Photocatalytic degradation of ARGs and integrons on the surface of pristine PVDF and TiO₂-modified PVDF membranes after UV treatment. ARGs and integrons in genome ((a), (b)) and plasmid ((c), (d)) were extracted using bacteria DNA kit and plasmid kit, respectively, and analyzed via quantitative PCR method (Adapted from (^{Ren et al., 2018}) with the permission of the American Chemical Society).
