Additional information

Antibiotic resistance is an emerging pollutant of concern. Using molecular methods developed by Knapp, the manuscript was first to present rates of disappearance (first order kinetics), incorporation into biofilms, and sedimentation. Used by Cox & Associates (consultants in USA) in its risk assessment model of antimicrobial resistance (http://www.cox-associates.com/riskanalysis.htm). Mentioned in report to House of Representatives (USA) about antibiotic resistance monitoring (http://www.gao.gov/assets/320/319114.html)
