Abstract

The treatment of hospital wastewater prior to connection to the sewerage system is increasingly considered to limit the introduction of pharmaceutical compounds and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of membrane biological treatment processes for the removal of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in hospital effluents. Why biomarkers of antibiotic resistance integrons resistance (IR), were followed. This study showed that the biological membrane processes based on ultrafiltration can complete good removal efficiencies of IR., This is not the case for treatment by microfiltration.
