Sample collection from pig farm wastewater

The AMR team (Prof. Kozo Watanabe, Yuichiro Shimada, Ryota Ueda, Ngure Kagia, and Kenneth Bongulto) collected wastewater samples from a pig farm  last July 14, 2022. The aim of the sample collection is to isolate environmental bacteria and test for antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs).

Wastewater samples were collected from three different sections (influent, sequencing batch reactor, and effluent basin) of the wastewater treatment system. Environmental parameters were also gathered per sampling site.
