Occurrence and fate of antibiotic resistant bacteria in sewage

Annex 1. Scientific papers and dissemination of results

The results achieved during the three years of this project have been disseminated by publications in international and national scientific journals, as well as by presentations at internationational conferences and national meetings. In all cases, the financial support of the Danish Environmental Protection Agency to the project was acknowleged.

The following is a list of publications in international peer-reviewed journals, which has been referred to throughout the report using the paper number designation:
