- Low-energy disinfection methods are key to enabling reuse & recycling of wastewater, a global challenge. This paper was first to report development of antibiotic resistance during photocatalysis but used our knowledge of underpinning chemistry and microbiology to mitigate the risk providing effective treatment. Impact of the work was recognised with a Best Paper award at 2016 IWA Leading Edge Conference on WWT, and invitation to present at the NEREUS COST Action (ES1403) meeting, Vienna, 2017. The paper pump-primed research funding EU ALICE (GA 734560, €900,000), GCRF SafeWater (EP/P032427/1 £4,889,812) and was key to establishment of the NI AMR Network (@NIAMRNetwork).
