Abstract
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are widespread in aquaculture and pose a huge threat to aquaculture organisms and human health. In this study, occurrences and relative abundances of ARGs were analysed in the guts of products cultured in freshwater ponds in the Yangtze River Delta region in China. A total of 29 ARGs were found in the gut samples, with detection frequencies ranging from 4.8% to 81%, and the relative abundances (ARGs/16S rRNA) ranging from 10-7 to 1. In addition, the human dietary intake of ARGs via aquaculture products was assessed, where the daily intake of most ARGs via aquaculture products was higher than those via PM2.5 and drinking water, but lower than that via vegetables. The relative abundances of MGE (IS613, Tp614, tnpA and int1) were significantly correlated with those of multiple ARGs, indicating the horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of ARGs among gut microorganisms. Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Actinobacteria were the dominated microbial communities found in the guts of aquaculture products. In addition, significant correlations were found between Cyanobacteria and int1, between Nitrospira and tetE, and between sul2 and aadA2, indicating potential same hosts of these genes. In addition, results from co-correlation indicated both HGT (dominated by MGEs) of ARGs and the enrichment of ARGs in bacteria. MGEs, mostly int1, were more effective than bacteria in increasing the ARG abundance. This study could provide a better understanding of the transmission of ARGs in the aquaculture environment and improve the quality of aquaculture products and the ecology.

Elimination of Pharmaceutical Compounds from Aqueous Solution through Novel Functionalized Pitch-Based Porous Adsorbents: Kinetic, Isotherm, Thermodynamic Studies and Mechanism Analysis. Molecules 2024; 29:463. [PMID: 38257376 PMCID: PMC10819009 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29020463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2024] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
The long-term presence of PPCPs in the aqueous environment poses a potentially significant threat to human life and physical health and the safety of the water environment. In our previous work, we investigated low-cost pitch-based HCP adsorbents with an excellent adsorption capacity and magnetic responsiveness through a simple one-step Friedel-Crafts reaction. In this work, we further investigated the adsorption behavior of the prepared pitch-based adsorbents onto three PPCP molecules (DFS, AMP, and antipyrine) in detail. The maximum adsorption capacity of P-MPHCP for DFS was 444.93 mg g-1. The adsorption equilibrium and kinetic processes were well described through the Langmuir model and the proposed secondary kinetic model. The negative changes in Gibbs free energy and enthalpy reflected that the adsorption of HCPs onto PPCPs was a spontaneous exothermic process. The recoverability results showed that the adsorption of MPHCP and P-MPHCP onto DFS remained above 95% after 10 adsorption-desorption cycles. The present work further demonstrates that these pitch-based adsorbents can be used for multiple applications, which have a very extensive practical application prospect.

Luo Y, Liu C, Wang Y, Yang Y, Mishra S. Occurrence, distribution and their correlation with different parameters of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes in lakes of China: A review.

Abstract
The exposure of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) as potential threats to the environment has raised global concern. This study provides discussion on the emergence and distribution of antibiotics and ARGs in lakes. The correlation of critical water quality parameters with antibiotics and ARGs are evaluated along with their integrative potential ecological risk. Sulfonamides (∼67.18 ng/L) and quinolones (∼77.62 ng/L) were the dominant antibiotics distributed in the aqueous phase, while the quinolones and tetracyclines were the primary contamination factors in the sediment phase. The temporal and spatial distribution revealed that the antibiotic concentrations were significantly lower in summer than other seasons and the lakes in Hebei and Jiangsu provinces exhibited the highest antibiotic pollution. The detection frequency and relative abundance of sul1 gene have been the highest among all detected ARGs. Moreover, ARGs in lakes were driven by several factors, with bacterial communities and mobile genetic elements that prevailed the positive distribution of ARGs. Antibiotics have been identified as critical factors in inducing the propagation of ARGs, which could be further enhanced by chemical contaminants (e.g., heavy metals and nutrients). Involving the risk assessment strategies, research attention should be paid on three antibiotics (ofloxacin, sulfamethoxazole and erythromycin) to strengthen the policy and management of Baiyangdian Lake and East Dongting Lake. This review analysis will provide in-depth understanding to the researchers and policy-makers in formulation of strategies for remediation of antibiotic contamination in the lakes.

Abstract
Antibiotics usage in animal production is considered a primary driver of the occurrence, supply and spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. Pig farms and fish ponds are important breeding systems in food animal production. In this study, we compared and analyzed broad ARGs profiles, mobile genetic elements (MGEs) and bacterial communities in a representative pig farm and neighboring fish ponds around Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China. The factors influencing the distribution of ARGs were also explored. The results showed widespread detection of ARGs (from 57 to 110) among 283 targeted ARGs in the collected water samples. The differences in the number and relative abundance of ARGs observed from the pig farm and neighboring fish ponds revealed that ARG contamination was more serious on the pig farm than in the fish ponds and that the water treatment plant on the pig farm was not very effective. Based on the variance partition analysis (VPA), MGEs, bacterial communities and water quality indicators (WIs) codrive the relative abundance of ARGs. Based on network analysis, we found that total phosphorus and Tp614 were the most important WIs and MGEs affecting ARG abundance, respectively. Our findings provide fundamental data on farms in lakeside districts and provide insights into establishing standards for the discharge of aquaculture wastewater.

Prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes in Pangasianodon hypophthalmus and Oreochromis niloticus aquaculture production systems in Bangladesh. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 813:151915.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) constitute emerging pollutants of significant public health concern. Antibiotics applied in aquaculture may stimulate the proliferation and dissemination of ARGs. This study investigated the prevalence and diversity of ARGs in Pangasianodon hypophthalmus (formerly Pangasius) and Oreochromis niloticus (formerly Tilapia) commercial aquaculture ponds from four economically important divisions (i.e. regions) of Bangladesh using a high-throughput qPCR ARG SmartChip and further aimed to explore effects of aquaculture pond management and water quality on the observed ARG prevalence patterns. A total of 160 ARGs and 10 mobile genetic elements (MGEs) were detected across all samples (n = 33), of which 76 ARGs and MGEs were shared between all regions. Multidrug resistance genes were the most frequently encountered ARGs, followed by ARGs conferring resistance to β-lactams, aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, and macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLSB). Research ponds managed by the Bangladesh Agricultural University had the lowest abundance and diversity of ARGs, suggesting that proper management such as regular water quality monitoring, fortnightly water exchange and use of probiotics instead of antibiotics may mitigate the dissemination of antibiotic resistance from aquaculture ponds. The Adonis test (R2 = 0.35, p < 0.001) and distance decay relationships revealed that the ARGs composition displayed a significant biogeographical pattern (i.e., separation based on geographic origin). However, this effect could possibly be due to feed type as different feed types were used in different regions. In conclusion, our results indicate that there is a vast potential for improving aquaculture pond management practices in Bangladesh to mitigate the environmental dissemination of ARGs and their subsequent transmission to humans.

Distribution and Transfer of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Coastal Aquatic Ecosystems of Bohai Bay. WATER 2022.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are abundant in diverse ecosystems and the resistome may constitute a health threat for humans and animals. It is necessary to uncover ARGs and the accumulation mechanisms from different environmental sources. Various habitats, such as soil, seawater and fish intestines, could overflow a considerable amount of ARGs and the horizontal transfer of ARGs may occur in these environments. Thus, we assessed the composition and abundance of ARGs in seawater, soil and intestinal tracts of Cynoglossus semilaevis collected from different sites in Bohai Bay (China), including a natural area and three fish farms, through a high-throughput qPCR array. In total, 243 ARGs were uncovered, governing the resistance to aminoglycoside, multidrug, beta-lactamase, macrolide lincosamide streptomycin B (MLSB), chloramphenicol, sulfonamide, tetracycline, vancomycin and other antibiotics. The action mechanisms of these ARGs were mainly antibiotic deactivation, efflux pump and cellular protection. Importantly, similar ARGs were detected in different samples but show dissimilar enrichment levels. ARGs were highly enriched in the fish farms compared to the natural sea area, with more genes detected, while some ARGs were detected only in the natural sea area samples, such as bacA-02, tetL-01 and ampC-06. Regarding sample types, water samples from all locations shared more ARGs in common and held the highest average level of ARGs detected than in the soil and fish samples. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) were also detected in three sample types, in the same trend as ARGs. This is the first study comparing the resistome of different samples of seawater, soil and intestines of C. semilaevis. This study contributes to a better understanding of ARG dissemination in water sources and could facilitate the effective control of ARG contamination in the aquatic environment.

Abstract
To better understand the occurrence and succession of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment, the investigation of ARGs in sediment for a long time scale is urgently needed. In this study, sediment samples were taken in the Yangtze Estuarine area from 2007 to 2019, and the interannual variations in ARGs and their possible physicochemical and socioeconomic influencing factors were analyzed. The results showed that the abundance of ARGs, including sul1, sul2, tetM, tetW, aac(6')-Ib and qnrS, was higher in recent years (from 2015 to 2019) than that in earlier years (from 2007 to 2011), and heavier ARG pollution was found in Wusongkou (WSK) samples than in Liuhekou (LHK) samples. According to the redundancy discriminant analysis (RDA) and correlation analysis, the antibiotics (especially individual antibiotic categories, including oxytetracycline, doxycycline hyclate and norfloxacin), metals and a metal resistance gene (zntA) and total organic carbon (TOC) showed significant correlations to ARGs. In addition, antibiotics, metals, TOC and ARGs were also significantly correlated with several socioeconomic indices. Furthermore, the extended STIRPAT model analysis revealed that the second industry product and the first industry product were the major socioeconomic driver factors for the ARG distribution at WSK and LHK, respectively. Overall, with socioeconomic development, antibiotics, metals, TOC and ARGs increased in sediment. In addition, antibiotics, metals and TOC may participate in the regulation of the occurrence and distribution of ARGs in the Yangtze Estuary for the long time scale.

Abstract
This study proposed the membrane bioreactor–ultraviolet/chlorine (MBR-UV/Cl2) process for treating polluted surface water with pharmaceutical personal care product (PPCP) contamination. Results showed that MBR-UV/Cl2 effectively removed the organic matters and ammonia at approximately 80% and 95%. MBR-UV/Cl2 was used in the removal of sulfadiazine(SDZ), sulfamethoxazole(SMZ), tetracycline(TC), oxytetracycline(OTC), ciprofloxacin(CIP), ofloxacin(OFX), erythromycin(ERY), roxithromycin(ROX), ibuprofen(IBU) and, naproxen(NAX) at 12.18%, 95.61%, 50.50%, 52.97%, 33.56%, 47.71%, 87.57%, 93.38%, 93.80%, and 71.46% in which their UV/Cl2 contribution was 12.18%, 95.61%, 29.04%, 38.14%, 25.94%, 7.20%, 80.28%, 33.79%, 73.08%, and 23.05%, respectively. The removal of 10 typical PPCPs using UV/Cl2 obtained higher contributions than those of the MBR process, except OTC, ROX, and IBU. The UV/Cl2 process with 3-min hydraulic retention time and chlorine concentration at 3 mg/L effectively removed the trace of PPCPs. MBR-UV/Cl2 has the potential to be developed as an effective technology in treating polluted surface water with PPCP contamination.
