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.
