Abstract

Abstract

In order to systematically understand the removal efficiency of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in sludge during anaerobic digestion and clarify the degradation mechanism of antibiotic resistance genes, this paper reviewed the effects of several common anaerobic digestion intensification processes, such as thermophilic anaerobic digestion, pretreatment technologies and additives injection on ARGs removal, taking the global research progress into account. It was found that the fate of ARGs was mainly related to the selective pressure in the sludge, the abundance of the host bacteria, the efficiency of horizontal gene transfer and the resistance mechanism of ARGs. Anaerobic digestion and its intensification processes mainly achieved an efficient reduction of ARGs by destroying the sludge cell structure, reducing the abundance of host bacteria and reducing the risk of horizontal gene transfer.
