Wang S, Fang L, Sun X, Lu W. Occurrence and distribution of antibiotic resistance genes in urban rivers with black-odor water of Harbin, China. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 259:119497. [PMID: 38944102 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/01/2024]
Abstract
Antibiotic resistance gene contamination in polluted rivers remains a widely acknowledged environmental issue. This study focused on investigating the contamination conditions of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in Harbin's urban black-odor rivers, specifically Dongfeng Ditch and Hejia Ditch. The research employed a SmartChip Real-Time PCR System to explore the types, abundance, and distribution of ARGs in diverse habitats, such as surface water and sediment. Additionally, the study examined the correlation of ARGs with mobile genetic elements (MGEs) and various environmental factors. It was found that antibiotic resistance genes were prevalent in both water and sediment within the black-odor ditches. The dominant types of ARGs identified included aminoglycoside, sulfonamide, multidrug-resistant, and β-lactam ARGs. Notably, the top four ARGs, in terms of relative abundance, were sul1, fox5, qacEdelta1-01 and aadA1. Most categories of ARGs have significant positive connections with MGEs, indicating that the enrichment and spreading of ARGs in rivers are closely related to MGEs. Based on the correlation analysis, it is found that environmental factors such as dissolved oxygen (DO), ammonia nitrogen (NH4-N), and phosphate (PO4-P) played a substantial role in influencing the variations observed in ARGs. By employing a risk assessment framework based on the human association, host pathogenicity, and mobility of ARGs, the identification of seven high-risk ARGs was achieved. In addition, it is important to assess the environmental risk of ARGs from multiple perspectives (abundance,detection rateand mobility). This study provides a significant reference regarding the presence of ARGs contamination in urban inland black-odor rivers, essential for assessing the health risks associated with ARGs and devising strategies to mitigate the threat of antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
The drug response phenotype is determined by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The high clinical conversion failure rate of gene-targeted drugs might be attributed to the lack of emphasis on environmental factors and the inherent individual variability in drug response (IVDR). Current evidence suggests that environmental variables, rather than the disease itself, are the primary determinants of both gut microbiota composition and drug metabolism. Additionally, individual differences in gut microbiota create a unique metabolic environment that influences the in vivo processes underlying drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). Here, we discuss how gut microbiota, shaped by both genetic and environmental factors, affects the host's ADME microenvironment within a new evaluation system for drug-microbiota interactions. Furthermore, we propose a new top-down research approach to investigate the intricate nature of drug-microbiota interactions in vivo. This approach utilizes germ-free animal models, providing foundation for the development of a new evaluation system for drug-microbiota interactions.

Abstract
Rivers are important in spreading antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Assessing AMR risk in large rivers is challenged by large spatial scale and numerous contamination sources. Integrating river resistome data into a global framework may help addressing this difficulty. Here, we conducted an omics-based assessment of AMR in a large river (i.e. the Pearl River in China) with global microbiome data. Results showed that antibiotic resistome in river water and sediment was more diversified than that in other rivers, with contamination levels in some river reaches higher than global baselines. Discharge of WWTP effluent and landfill waste drove AMR prevalence in the river, and the resistome level was highly associated with human and animal sources. Detection of 54 risk rank I ARGs and emerging mobilizable mcr and tet(X) highlighted AMR risk in the river reaches with high human population density and livestock pollution. Florfenicol-resistant floR therein deserved priority concerns due to its high detection frequency, dissimilar phylogenetic distance, mobilizable potential, and presence in multiple pathogens. Co-sharing of ARGs across taxonomic ranks implied their transfer potentials in the community. By comparing with global genomic data, we found that Burkholderiaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, Moraxellaceae and Pseudomonadaceae were important potential ARG-carrying bacteria in the river, and WHO priority carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa should be included in future surveillance. Collectively, the findings from this study provide an omics-benchmarked assessment strategy for public risk associated with AMR in large rivers.

Abstract
As an emerging contaminant, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are raising concerns about its significant threat to public health. Meanwhile, graphene oxide (GO), which also has a potential ecological damage with increasingly entering the environment, has a great influence on the transfer of ARGs. However, little is known about the effects mechanisms of GO on the migration of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) from bacteria into plants. In this study, we investigated the influence of GO on the transfer of ARGs carried by RP4 plasmids from Bacillus subtilis into rice plants. Our results showed that the presence of GO at concentrations ranging from 0 to 400 mg L-1 significantly reduced the transfer of ARGs into rice roots by 13-71 %. Moreover, the migration of RP4 from the roots to aboveground parts was significantly impaired by GO. These effects may be attributed to several factors. First, higher GO concentrations led to low pH in the culture solution, resulting in a substantial decrease in the number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Second, GO induced oxidative stress in rice, as indicated by enhanced Evans blue dye staining, and elevated levels of malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity. The oxidative stress negatively affected plant growth, as demonstrated by the reduced fresh weight and altered lignin content in the rice. Microscopic observations confirmed the entry of GO into root cells but not leaf mesophyll cells. Furthermore, potential recipients of RP4 plasmid strains in rice after co-cultivation experiments were identified, including Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, and Bacillus cereus. These findings clarify the influence of GO on ARGs in the bacteria-plant system and emphasize the need to consider its potential ecological risks.

High rate of multidrug resistance and integrons in Escherichia coli isolates from diseased ducks in select regions of China. Poult Sci 2023; 102:102956. [PMID: 37586192 PMCID: PMC10450990 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2023.102956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2023] [Revised: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/18/2023] Open
Abstract
With the increasing number of ducks being raised and consumed, it is crucial to monitor the presence of multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria in duck farming. Waterfowl, such as ducks, can contribute to the rapid dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). The objective of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial resistance (AMR), ARGs, and mobile genetic elements (MGEs), such as IS26, tbrC, ISEcp1 in Escherichia coli(E. coli) isolated from the intestinal contents of diseased ducks between 2021 and 2022 in Sichuan, Chongqing and Anhui, China. The AMR phenotypes of 201 isolated E. coli strains were determined using the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) method. Subsequently, polymerase chain reaction and sequencing techniques were employed to screen for integron-integrase genes (intI1, intI2, intI3 genes), gene cassettes (GCs), MGEs, and ARGs. The results demonstrated that 96.5% of the E. coli isolates were resistant to at least 1 antibiotic, with 88.1% of the strains displaying MDR phenotype. The highest AMR phenotype observed was for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (88.1%). Furthermore, class 1 and class 2 integrons were detected in 68.2% and 3.0% of all the isolates, respectively, whereas no class 3 integrons were found. Ten types of GCs were identified in the variable regions of class 1 and class 2 integrons. Moreover, 10 MGEs were observed in 46 combinations, with IS26 exhibiting the highest detection rate (89.6%). Among the 22 types of ARGs, tetA (77.1%) was the most frequently detected. In the conjugational transfer experiment, transconjugants were found to carry specific ARGs and MGEs, with their MIC values were significantly higher than those of recipient E. coli J53, indicating their status as MDR bacteria. This study emphasizes the necessity of monitoring MGEs, ARGs, and integrons in duck farms. It provides valuable insights into the complex formation mechanisms of AMR and may aid in preventing and controlling the spread of MDR bacteria in waterfowl breeding farm.

Abstract
Antimicrobial contamination and antimicrobial resistance have become global environmental and health problems. A large number of antimicrobials are used in medical and animal husbandry, leading to the continuous release of residual antimicrobials into the environment. It not only causes ecological harm, but also promotes the occurrence and spread of antimicrobial resistance. The role of environmental factors in antimicrobial contamination and the spread of antimicrobial resistance is often overlooked. There are a large number of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria and antimicrobial resistance genes in human beings, which increases the likelihood that pathogenic bacteria acquire resistance, and also adds opportunities for human contact with antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. In this paper, we review the fate of antimicrobials and antimicrobial resistance in the environment, including the occurrence, spread, and impact on ecological and human health. More importantly, this review emphasizes a number of environmental factors that can exacerbate antimicrobial contamination and the spread of antimicrobial resistance. In the future, the timely removal of antimicrobials and antimicrobial resistance genes in the environment will be more effective in alleviating antimicrobial contamination and antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellanae) is an endangered animal species mainly distributed in China and needs to be protected. Gut microbiome is an important determinant of animal health and population survival as it affects the adaptation of the animals to different foods and environments under kinetic changes of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate gut fecal microbiome profiles of snub-nosed monkeys affected by several extrinsic and intrinsic factors, including raising patterns (captive vs. wild), age, sex, and diarrheal status to provide a reference for making protection strategies. RESULTS The 16S rRNA gene sequencing was firstly used to pre-check clustering of 38 fecal samples from the monkeys including 30 wild and 8 captive (5 healthy and 3 diarrheal) from three Regions of Shennongjia Nature Reserve, Hubei Province, China. Then the 24 samples with high-quality DNA from 18 wild and 6 captive (4 healthy and 2 diarrheal) monkeys were subjected to shotgun metagenomic sequencing to characterize bacterial gut microbial communities. We discovered that the raising pattern (captive and wild) rather than age and sex was the predominant factor attributed to gut microbiome structure and proportionality. Wild monkeys had significantly higher bacterial diversity and lower Bacteroidetes/Firmicutes ratios than captive animals. Moreover, the gut microbiomes in wild healthy monkeys were enriched for the genes involved in fatty acid production, while in captive animals, genes were enriched for vitamin biosynthesis and metabolism and amino acid biosynthesis from carbohydrate intermediates. Additionally, a total of 37 antibiotic resistant genes (ARG) types were detected. Unlike the microbiome diversity, the captive monkeys have a higher diversity of ARG than the wild animals. CONCLUSION Taken together, we highlight the importance of self-reprogramed metabolism in the snub-nosed monkey gut microbiome to help captive and wild monkeys adapt to different intrinsic and extrinsic environmental change.
