Abstract

Key findings

  • Bioelectrochemical systems can effectively remove antibiotics from wastewater, with removal efficiencies ranging from 70-90%.
  • These systems can also reduce the presence of antibiotic resistance genes in wastewater, with some studies showing a 50-70% reduction.
  • The mechanisms behind the removal of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes in bioelectrochemical systems are not yet fully understood and require further research.
