Current Progress on Antibiotic Resistance Genes Removal by Composting in Sewage Sludge: Influencing Factors and Possible Mechanisms
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) present in sewage sludge pose significant environmental and public health challenges. Composting has emerged as a promising method to mitigate these risks by reducing ARGs. This review paper evaluated the current progress in the removal of ARGs through composting, incorporating a bibliometric analysis of 228 publications from January 2010 to January 2024. This review highlights the increasing scholarly interest in this field, with a notable rise in publications since 2010. Key mechanisms identified include the denaturation of proteins and DNA at high temperatures, the adsorption of antibiotics and heavy metals by additives like biochar, and shifts in microbial communities, all contributing to the reduction of ARGs during composting. Despite these findings, challenges remain in achieving consistent ARG removal rates, addressing the potential for ARG regrowth, and understanding horizontal gene transfer post-composting. This review suggests further research into optimizing composting conditions and integrating additional treatment methods to enhance ARG removal and minimize associated risks.
