Systematic analysis of the scientific-technological production on the use of the UV, H₂O₂, and/or Cl₂ systems in the elimination of bacteria and associated antibiotic resistance genes.

ABSTRACT: This study presents a systematic review of the scientific and technological production related to the use of systems based on UV, H₂O₂, and Cl₂ for the elimination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and genes associated with antibiotic resistance (ARGs). Using the Pro Know-C (Knowledge Development Process-Constructivist) methodology, a portfolio was created and analyzed that includes 19 articles and 18 patents published between 2011 and 2022. The results show a greater scientific-technological production in UV irradiation systems (8 articles and 5 patents) and the binary combination UV/H₂O₂ (9 articles and 4 patents). It was emphasized that UV irradiation alone focuses mainly on the removal of ARB, while the addition of H₂
