FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — In a story April 8 about Flagstaff wastewater, The Associated Press reported erroneously that research has found antibiotic-resistant bacteria in treated effluent from the northern Arizona city’s central sewage treatment plant. The research shows genetic indicators of what could be antibiotic-resistant bacteria, not the bacterium itself. Further study is needed to determine if any infectious bacteria are present in the wastewater and if any actual health risks are present.
