title = "Amoxicillin in a biological water recovery system",
abstract = "The overall transformation potential of a candidate pharamaceutical in wastewater treatment with specific emphasis on recycle systems was determined. Amoxicillin is the selected pharmaceutical agent, an orally absorbed broad-spectrum antibiotic with a variety of clinical uses including ear, nose and throat infections. Experiments were carried out using an anaerobic reactor. The results included potential for long-term buildup in recycled systems, accumulation of breakdown products and possible transfer of antibiotic resistance to microorganisms in the system effluent.",
