Antimicrobial resistance is a pressing public health issue and information is lacking to inform human health risk assessment (e.g., when/where is it safe/unsafe to swim in impacted water?). This project focuses on the impact of wastewater effluent on riverine concentrations of genetic elements encoding for antibiotic resistance and antibiotic resistant fecal indicator organisms and pathogens. The full project description is available here: https://cfpub.epa.gov/ncer_abstracts/index.cfm/fuseaction/display.abstractDetail/abstract_id/11487/report/0, including elements beyond Rutgers scope of work. Our aims focus on field sampling and analysis to share with modelers and risk assessors on the team.
