2022/05/04 - 2022/05/04 Detection and quantification of antibiotic resistance in water In this workshop, dedicated to professionals in the areas of water treatment and analysis, the aim was to present the problem and the importance of monitoring a special group of emerging contaminants, antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes , in waters. Participants had the opportunity to get in touch with some of the methodologies considered to be the most suitable for detecting and quantifying these emerging contaminants, and to discuss their application.
