Abstract
Wastewater may contain antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) that can alter both plant and animal growth. The review focused on the inhibition of bacterial growth and the removal of ARB from wastewater. The outcome revealed that nanomaterials and biochar combined with other treatment methods and coagulation processes are recent strategies regarding ARB removal. Ultraviolet radiation as a treatment method can damage the nucleic acids in the cells of microorganism, thereby reducing ARB abundance in the wastewater. Appropriate regulation on discharge of pharmaceutical waste will aid access to safe and affordable drinking water in line with the sustainable development goals.
