Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) pose a widespread concern for human health and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are considered to be major source of ARG transmission. In this paper, the potential hosts genetic characteristics ARGs in influent, activated sludge effluent WWTPs Xinjiang were studied by metagenomics. Bacitracin gene (bacA), beta-lactamase (class A beta-lactamase), multidrug (...

The skin is a complex organ responsible for protecting the body from physical, chemical and biological insults. microbiome known to play an important role in host infections. This study examined changes antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), biosynthesis (ABSGs) virulence factor (VFGs) on human before after swimming ocean. Skin samples were collected participants they swam ocean, at 6 h 24 post-sw...

Studies to understand the role wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) play in dissemination of antibiotics (ABs), and emergence antibiotic resistance (ABR), an important tackling this global crisis. Here we describe abundance distribution 16 ABs, 4 corresponding genes (ARGs), sampled from influent five WWTPs within a single river catchment. We consider four classes antibiotics: fluroquinolones, ma...

The expansion of livestock production and agriculture is responsible for the increase deforestation rates in Amazon rainforest, with consequences to climate micro macro biodiversity. Although many studies have evaluated effects on microbiome, its effect soil resistome remains unknown. Considering that antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are a threat global health food security, here we how land-...

The manuscript endeavors to provide a perspective on the role of water bodies in spread antimicrobial (antibiotic) resistance (AMR), resistant bacteria (ARB), and genes (ARGs) among pathogens, animals, humans. We briefly indicate how AMR problem is globally affecting public health, along with strategies mechanisms combat dissemination ARB ARGs. A brief systematic survey literature (2015-onwards...

The main objective of this review is to evaluate the performance constructed wetlands (CWs) used reduce antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs) during sewage treatment. To accomplish objective, statistical and correlation analyses were performed using published data determine influence operational design parameters on ARG reduction in CWs. effects parameters, such as different CW configurations, seas...

Microbial colonization of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic ecosystems is a well-known phenomenon; however, there insufficient knowledge the early phase. Wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents have been proposed as important pathways for MPs entry and transport environments are hotspots bacterial pathogens antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). This study aimed at characterizing communities stag...

In agroecosystems, application of manure from livestock treated with antibiotics has the potential to spread antibiotic compounds, resistant bacteria, and resistance genes (ARGs) soil. Although environmental transmission is a major human health concern, few studies have looked at long-term effects on soil microbial communities applying administered antibiotics. We examined impacts three years r...

Anthropogenic discharge of nutrients, metals, and antibiotics poses multiple threats to the health aquatic ecosystems humans, e.g., causing eutrophication, introduction resistance genes into human pathogens. The potential link between microbial communities, genes, eutrophication levels in urban lakes is complex remains unclear, which crucial for ecological risk assessment. Here, five different ...

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes are recognized as new environmental pollutants that warrant special concern. There were few reports on veterinary antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes in China. This work systematically analyzed the prevalence and distribution of sulfonamide resistance genes in soils from the environments around poultry and livestock farms in Jiangsu Province, Southeas...
