Aerobic Post-Treatment of Anaerobic Pig Digest: Reduction of Antimicrobial Spread in Nature - Yrsa Larsson

Antibiotic resistance is fueled by antibiotics released into the environment through animal manure. This research shows that aerobic biofilm carrier reactors can degrade up to 92% of antibiotics in manure. Improved manure treatment can reduce environmental reservoirs of resistance and help preserve antibiotics as effective treatments for bacterial infections.
