Antibiotic-resistant bacteria can leave genetic material in the water after disinfection, which could be absorbed by other microorganisms. A new procedure with titanium dioxide crystals completely decomposes DNA-like molecules in the laboratory. For this purpose, produced crystal defects convert ordinary oxygen under light effect into particularly reactive singularett oxygen. Yinchuan (China). Even if a water treatment kills bacteria, released g…
