The purpose of this study is to compare CT (disinfectant concentration * time) values in removing the
antibiotic resistance bacteria, antibiotic resistance gene and transfer of antibiotic resistance genes. Different
concentration of chlorine(C) and contact time(T) according to the removal of antibiotic resistance was
calculated for each. As a result, for the 90% removal of antibiotic resistant bacteria, around 176∼353
mg·min/L CT values are needed. For the removal of the antibiotic resistance gene, 195∼372 mg·min/L CT
values are required. For the 90% reduction of antibiotic resistance gene transfer by chlorine disinfection, 187
∼489 mg·min/L CT values are needed. Based on our results, higher CT value was required for removing
antibiotic resistant genes rather than antibiotic resistance bacteria.
