Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how earthworms and microorganisms work together in vermifiltration technology to effectively treat clinical laboratory wastewater and reduce antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB).
- Results show that vermifiltration significantly decreases indicators of pollution (BOD and COD) by 78-85%, removes over 99.9% of coliforms and pathogens, and alters the prevalence pattern of ARB.
- Molecular analyses reveal key resistance genes, suggesting that the microbial community and biofilm formation in the system help combat pathogens and modify antibiotic resistance, supporting vermifiltration as a reliable and eco-friendly wastewater treatment method.
