JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 472:134616. [PMID: 38754232 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2024] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
Soil is recognized as an important reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, the effect of salinity on the antibiotic resistome in saline soils remains largely misunderstood. In this study, high-throughput qPCR was used to investigate the impact of low-variable salinity levels on the occurrence, health risks, driving factors, and assembly processes of the antibiotic resistome. The results revealed 206 subtype ARGs across 10 categories, with medium-salinity soil exhibiting the highest abundance and number of ARGs. Among them, high-risk ARGs were enriched in medium-salinity soil. Further exploration showed that bacterial interaction favored the proliferation of ARGs. Meanwhile, functional genes related to reactive oxygen species production, membrane permeability, and adenosine triphosphate synthesis were upregulated by 6.9%, 2.9%, and 18.0%, respectively, at medium salinity compared to those at low salinity. With increasing salinity, the driver of ARGs in saline soils shifts from bacterial community to mobile gene elements, and energy supply contributed 28.2% to the ARGs at extreme salinity. As indicated by the neutral community model, stochastic processes shaped the assembly of ARGs communities in saline soils. This work emphasizes the importance of salinity on antibiotic resistome, and provides advanced insights into the fate and dissemination of ARGs in saline soils.

Abstract
The black soldier fly (BSF, Hermetia illucens) is a resource insect that can utilize livestock and poultry feces. However, BSFs may also increase the risk of transmission of antibiotic resistance genes (AGRs) that are widespread in livestock and poultry farm environments. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the biosecurity risks of different BSF treatments in the laying chicken food chain using the "chicken manure-BSF-laying hens" model. Our results indicated that different BSF treatments significantly affected antibiotic residue, ARGs, MGEs, bacterial antibiotic resistance, and bacterial microbial community composition in the food chain of laying hens fed BSFs. These risks can be effectively reduced through starvation treatment and high-temperature grinding treatment. Comprehensive risk assessment analysis revealed that starvation combined with high-temperature milling (Group H) had the greatest effect.

Mu X, Zhang S, Lu J, Huang Y, Ji J. Fate and removal of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in mesocosmic wetlands: Impact on wetland performance, resistance genes and microbial communities. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 470:133740. [PMID: 38569335 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133740] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
The fate of fluoroquinolone antibiotics norfloxacin and ofloxacin were investigated in mesocosmic wetlands, along with their effects on nutrients removal, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and epiphytic microbial communities on Hydrilla verticillate using bionic plants as control groups. Approximately 99% of norfloxacin and ofloxacin were removed from overlaying water, and H. verticillate inhibited fluoroquinolones accumulation in surface sediments compared to bionic plants. Partial least squares path modeling showed that antibiotics significantly inhibited the nutrient removal capacity (0.55) but had no direct effect on plant physiology. Ofloxacin impaired wetland performance more strongly than norfloxacin and more impacted the primary microbial phyla, whereas substrates played the most decisive role on microbial diversities. High antibiotics concentration shifted the most dominant phyla from Proteobacteria to Bacteroidetes and inhibited the Xenobiotics biodegradation function, contributing to the aggravation in wetland performance. Dechloromonas and Pseudomonas were regarded as the key microorganisms for antibiotics degradation. Co-occurrence network analysis excavated that microorganisms degrade antibiotics mainly through co-metabolism, and more complexity and facilitation/reciprocity between microbes attached to submerged plants compared to bionic plants. Furthermore, environmental factors influenced ARGs mainly by altering the community dynamics of differential bacteria. This study offers new insights into antibiotic removal and regulation of ARGs accumulation in wetlands with submerged macrophyte.

Zhang L, Yan C, Wen C. Vertical distribution characteristics and transport paths of antibiotic resistance genes in constructed wetland system. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 466:133555.

Abstract
Although the migration and diffusion of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in soil-plant systems have attracted much attention, the migration and diffusion characteristics between constructed wetlands and soil-plant systems differ greatly. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on vertical transmission and diffusion of ARGs in constructed wetlands. The vertical distribution and transmission of ARGs in constructed wetlands were explored via metagenomic analysis. The results showed that the proportion of multidrug ARGs was the largest, ranging from 24.2% to 47.5%. The shared characteristics of ARGs were similar to those of bacteria, and there were fewer unique ARGs and microbial species in mesophyll tissue. Sourcetracker analysis revealed that ARGs transfer between plants and atmosphere was bidirectional, but the diffusion of ARGs to atmosphere through plants was relatively weak. ARGs were mainly transmitted to atmosphere/surrounding environment through substrate and influent, and the contributions of substrate to ARGs in atmosphere/surrounding environment were 59.2% and 78.6%, respectively. ARGs involved in foliar attachment mainly originated from peripheral inputs. ARGs showed nonspecific selection for the host at phylum, class and order levels. These findings suggest that more attention should be given to the potential risks of ARGs in constructed wetlands, to formulate effective control and management strategies.
