Functional screening for triclosan resistance in a wastewater metagenome and isolates of Escherichia coli and Enterococcus spp. from a large Canadian healthcare region.
The biocide triclosan is in many consumer products and is a frequent contaminant of wastewater (WW) such that there is concern that triclosan promotes resistance to important antibiotics. This study identified functional mechanisms of triclosan resistance (TCSR) in WW metagenomes, and assessed the f...
