Increased Waterborne blaNDM-1 Resistance Gene Abundances Associated with Seasonal Human Pilgrimages to the Upper Ganges River
Antibiotic resistance (AR) is often rooted in inappropriate antibiotic use, but poor water quality and inadequate sanitation exacerbate the problem, especially in emerging countries. An example is increasing multi-AR due to mobile carbapenemases, such as NDM-1 protein (coded by blaNDM-1 genes), which can produce extreme drug-resistant phenotypes. In 2010, NDM-1 positive isolates and blaNDM-1 ge...
متن کاملAntibiotic Resistance Gene Abundances Associated with Waste Discharges to the Almendares River near Havana, Cuba
Considerable debate exists over the primary cause of increased antibiotic resistance (AR) worldwide. Evidence suggests increasing AR results from overuse of antibiotics in medicine and therapeutic and nontherapeutic applications in agriculture. However, pollution also can influence environmental AR, particularly associated with heavy metal, pharmaceutical, and other waste releases, although the...
متن کاملSeasonal variation of macrolide resistance gene abundances in the South Fork Iowa River Watershed.
The Midwestern United States is dominated by agricultural production with high concentrations of swine, leading to application of swine manure onto lands with artificial subsurface drainage. Previous reports have indicated elevated levels of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in surface water and groundwater around confined animal feeding operations which administer antimicrobials. While previo...
متن کاملRecognizing Meanders to Reconstruct River Dynamics of the Ganges
The long-term discharge evolution of branches of rivers can potentially be derived from inactive and fossil river meanders using relations between discharge and channel width and meander dimensions. This evolution is relevant for the understanding of river dynamics and avulsion, and the resulting changes of downstream flooding risks and shipping conveyance. Unfortunately, digitalisation of infi...
متن کاملFuture changes in hydro-climatic extremes in the Upper Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra River basins
Future hydrological extremes, such as floods and droughts, may pose serious threats for the livelihoods in the upstream domains of the Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra. For this reason, the impacts of climate change on future hydrological extremes is investigated in these river basins. We use a fully-distributed cryospheric-hydrological model to simulate current and future hydrological fluxes and for...
