Hi Lizette,
I have heard of treatment with ozone or electrolytic oxidation, but I have not heard much about bioremediation using specific plants or microbes.

You could try searching google.com for "treatment of antibiotic wastewater" and follow links from there. There is also a forum devoted entirely to waste water treatment:
http://www.waterandwastewater.com/
You could post your question there. If you do, make sure to tell them your background and why you are interested in this topic.

hello again lizette

ive found a site that you mention about plants that may take away antibiotics
http://jeq.scijournals.org/cgi/content/ ... /34/6/2082
it mentions about Antibiotic Uptake by Plants from Soil Fertilized with Animal manure...im not sure if its is what you were looking for but it might help a little bit! :wink:
I hope this helps and good luck with your project
