Abstract

The usage of antibiotics is constantly increasing due to their efficacy in healing bacterial infections. When similar antibiotics are used repeatedly, they kill susceptible bacteria while leaving the resistance gene unaffected. As a result, certain bacteria, known as antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARBs), develop resistance to certain antibiotics. Globally, the problems associated with widespread use and antibiotic management have become a threat to community health. This anomaly has aided in the establishment and spread of ARBs and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the surrounding environment. For the reasons stated above, purification and recycling of wastewater are becoming increasingly significant. As a result, new simple and proficient methods are being developed to enable the removal of these ARBs and ARGs prior to their unrestrained dissemination. This study focuses on the origins, progress, and transmission of antibiotic resistance (AR), as well as current advances in treatment technology to prevent AR from spreading.
