“…Microfiltration membranes commonly used for wastewater treatment are not capable of removing eDNA. However, eDNA attached to wastewater solids were removed efficiently by membrane filtration (Slipko et al, 2019). Report by Bien et al (2017) suggests that ARGs conveying eDNA is formed and remained by biological interaction within microbial loop (Bien et al, 2017).…”

“…Cui et al, 2019, demonstrated that earthworm casts were found to be significant in removing the ARGs of both cell-associated and eDNA in the excess activated sludge [ 80 ]. Slipko et al, 2019, reported that membrane (ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis) with a molecular weight cut off smaller than 5000 Da can remove eDNA effectively [ 81 ]. Furthermore, it was observed that membranes’ specifications, such as molecular weight cut-off and charge will be important parameters to remove eDNA from wastewaters.…”

Over the past decades, the rising antibiotic resistance bacteria (ARB) are continuing to emerge as a global threat due to potential public health risk. Rapidly evolving antibiotic resistance and its persistence in the environment, have underpinned the need for more studies to identify the possible sources and limit the spread. In this context, not commonly studied and a neglected genetic material called extracellular DNA (eDNA) is gaining increased attention as it can be one of the significant drivers for transmission of extracellular ARGS (eARGs) via horizontal gene transfer (HGT) to competent environmental bacteria and diverse sources of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. Consequently, this review highlights the studies that address the environmental occurrence of eDNA and encoding eARGs and its impact on the environmental resistome. In this review, we also brief the recent dedicated technological advancements that are accelerating extraction of eDNA and the efficiency of treatment technologies in reducing eDNA that focuses on environmental antibiotic resistance and potential ecological health risk.

“…Antibiotic resistance genes were further investigated by Slipko et al. (2019) using ten different membranes ranging from microfiltration to reverse osmosis. Results showed that microfiltration membranes showed no retention of the constituent while other membranes such as UF, NF, and RO were able to retain the constituent.…”
