Domestic laundering of healthcare textiles: Disinfection efficacy and risks of antibiotic resistance transmission
Table 7
Antibiotic resistance genes detected in domestic laundry machines. The resistance genes are ranked from the highest frequency (top) to the lowest frequency (bottom) among all the samples. Only the 10 most frequent ones are listed. Gene data were extracted from the CARD database. Blue= Genes encoding efflux pumps; Yellow=Genes encoding an antibiotic inhibitor; Green= Genes involved in antibiotic targets alteration; and Grey=Genes involved in different antibiotic.
