Ruan SY, Luo HW, Tang XR, Qi JY. Effects of 3-year organic farming management on soil antibiotic resistant genes and virulence factors in a double rice cropping system. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 944:173722. [PMID: 38839017 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
Investigating the antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and virulence factors (VFs) within soil microbial communities is crucial for understanding microbial ecology and the evolution of antibiotic resistance. However, the study of ARGs, VFs, and their predominant microbial hosts in soils under varying rice production management practices remains largely underexplored. To this end, a three-year field experiment was conducted under organic management within a double rice cropping system in South China. The study revealed that, in contrast to conventional management (CK), organic farming practices did not significantly alter the total reads of ARGs and VFs. However, there was a notable alteration in the ARGs abundance at the antibiotic class level, such as an increase (P < 0.05) in the abundance of Multidrug ARGs (by 1.7 %) and a decrease (P < 0.05) in Rifamycin (by 17.5 %) and Fosfomycin ARGs (by 15.3 %). Furthermore, a significant shift in VFs was observed under organic farming compared to CK, characterized by an increase (P < 0.05) in offensive VFs and a decrease (P < 0.05) in nonspecific VFs and the regulation of virulence-associated genes. Key microbial taxa identified as influencing ARGs and VFs in the tested soil samples, e.g., Proteobacteria. The findings highlight the need for more detailed attention to soil ecology within organic rice production systems in South China, particularly concerning the significant alterations observed in ARGs and VFs.

Co-exposure of microplastics and sulfamethoxazole propagated antibiotic resistance genes in sediments by regulating the microbial carbon metabolism. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 463:132951. [PMID: 37951174 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132951] [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: 05/13/2023] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/13/2023]
Abstract
The concerns on the carriers of microplastics (MPs) on co-existing pollutants in aquatic environments are sharply rising in recent years. However, little is known about their interactions on the colonization of microbiota, especially for the spread of pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the influences on the propagation of ARGs in sediments by the co-exposure of different MPs and sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The results showed that the presence of MPs significantly enhanced the contents of total organic carbon, while having no effects on the removal of SMX in sediments. Exposure to SMX and MPs obviously activated the microbial carbon utilization capacities based on the BIOLOG method. The propagation of ARGs in sediments was activated by SMX, which was further promoted by the presence of polylactic acid (PLA) MPs, but significantly lowered by the co-exposed polyethylene (PE) MPs. This apparent difference may be attributed to the distinct influence on the antibiotic efflux pumps of two MPs. Moreover, the propagation of ARGs may be also dominated by microbial carbon metabolism in sediments, especially through regulating the carbon sources of carboxylic acids, carbohydrates, and amino acids. This study provides new insights into the carrier effects of MPs in sediments.

Abstract
To comprehensively understand antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) profile in the subtropical drinking water river-reservoir system, this study selected Dongzhen river-reservoir system in Mulan Creek as object to investigate the spatial-temporal characteristics of ARGs diversity, bacterial host and resistance mechanism, and to analyze the key environmental factors driving ARGs profile variation. The results indicated that a total of 440 ARGs were detected in the target system, and the ARGs distribution pattern in the reservoir was attributed to autologous evolution or the comprehensive influence of feeding river system. The predominant bacterial host at different sites showed similar variations to dominated ARGs, and Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes harbored most ARGs at phylum level, which showed the highest proportions of 74%, 37% and 35%, respectively. Antibiotic efflux was the primary resistance mechanism in all samples from wet season (45%-60%), yet the samples from dry season exhibited multiple resistance mechanisms, including inactivation (37%-52%), efflux (44%), and target alteration (43%). The total relative abundances of ARGs in the target system ranged from 0.89 × 10-2 to 1.71 × 10-2, and seasonal variation had a more significant influence on ARGs abundance than spatial variation (R = 0.68, P < 0.01). Environmental factors analysis indicated that the concentrations of nitrite nitrogen and total organic carbon were significant factors explaining ARGs number and various resistance mechanism proportions (P < 0.01), accounting for 48.7% and 61.1% of the variation, respectively; ammonia nitrogen concentration, total organic carbon concentration, temperature and pH were the significant influence factors on the relative abundance of ARGs (P < 0.05), with standardized regression weights of 0.700, 1.414, 1.447, and 1.727, respectively. In summary, in the surface water of the target system, ARGs diversity was primarily driven by ARGs horizontal transfer and antibiotics biosynthesis. Nutrients mainly promoted ARGs abundance by providing abundant energy, rather than increasing bacterial reproductive capacity.

WATER RESEARCH 2023; 244:120529. [PMID: 37666151 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.120529] [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: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/06/2023]
Abstract
There are continuous reports about the pollution of the secondary water supply systems (SWSSs), among which domestic sewage leakage is the most serious. In this study, a pilot experiment lasting 70 days was conducted to explore the changes in physicochemical water quality and the microbial profiles in SWSSs polluted by different doses of domestic sewage through qPCR and high-throughput sequencing methods. The results showed that when domestic sewage entered the simulated water storage tank, a large amount of organic matter brought by domestic sewage quickly consumed chlorine disinfectants. High pollution levels (pollution index ≥ 1/1000) were accompanied by significant increases in turbidity and ammonia nitrogen concentration (p < 0.05) and by abnormal changes in sensory properties. Although different microbial community structures were found only at high pollution levels, qPCR results showed that the abundance of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene and some pathogenic gene markers in the polluted tank increased with the pollution level, and the specific gene marker of pathogens could be detected even at imperceptible pollution levels. In particular, the high detection frequency and abundance of Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecails in polluted tank water samples demonstrated that they can be used for early warning. Moreover, it seems that the microorganisms that came with the domestic sewage lost their cultivability soon after entering SWSSs but could recover their activities during stagnation. In addition, the biofilm biomass in the polluted tank with high pollution levels increased faster at the initial stage, while after a longer contact time, it tended to remain at the same level as the control tank. This study emphasized the high microbial risk introduced by sewage water leakage even at imperceptible levels and could provide scientific suggestions for early warning and prevention of pollution to SWSSs.

Contribution of different class 2 integron elements to fitness costs in multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli and evaluation of their adaptability in “farm-to-table” environments.

Abstract
Integrons play a pivotal role in the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance, because they can capture and express exogenous antimicrobial resistance genes. This study aimed to elucidate the structure and contribution of different elements of class 2 integrons to fitness costs in their host bacteria and evaluate their adaptability to the "farm-to-table" process. We mapped 27 typical class 2 integrons of Escherichia coli isolated from aquatic foods and pork products, each harboring an inactive truncated class 2 integrase gene and the gene cassette (GC) array dfrA1-sat2-aadA1 with strong Pc2A/Pc2B promoters. Notably, the fitness costs associated with class 2 integrons depended on the Pc promoter strength and quantity and content of GCs in the array. Additionally, the costs of integrases were activity-dependent, and a balance was identified between GC capture ability and integron stability, which could explain the inactive truncated integrase identified. Although typical class 2 integrons exhibited low-cost structures in E. coli, the bacteria incurred biological costs, including decreasing growth rates and biofilm formation, in farm-to-table environments, especially under low-nutrient conditions. Nevertheless, sub-inhibitory antibiotic concentrations led to the selection of class 2 integron-carrying bacteria. This study provides important insights into how integrons may travel from preharvest to consumer goods.

Abstract
The ptsG (hpIIBCGlc) gene, belonging to the glucose-specific phosphotransferase system, encodes the bacterial glucose-specific enzyme IIBC. In this study, the effects of a deletion of the ptsG gene were investigated by metabolome and transcriptome analyses. At the transcriptional level, we identified 970 differentially expressed genes between ΔptsG and sc1401 (Padj<0.05) and 2072 co-expressed genes. Among these genes, those involved in methane metabolism, amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, starch and sucrose metabolism, pyruvate metabolism, phosphotransferase system (PTS), biotin metabolism, Two-component system and Terpenoid backbone biosynthesis showed significant changes in the ΔptsG mutant strain. Metabolome analysis revealed that a total of 310 metabolites were identified, including 20 different metabolites (p < 0.05). Among them, 15 metabolites were upregulated and 5 were downregulated in ΔptsG mutant strain. Statistical analysis revealed there were 115 individual metabolites having correlation, of which 89 were positive and 26 negative. These metabolites include amino acids, phosphates, amines, esters, nucleotides, benzoic acid and adenosine, among which amino acids and phosphate metabolites dominate. However, not all of these changes were attributable to changes in mRNA levels and must also be caused by post-transcriptional regulatory processes. The knowledge gained from this lays the foundation for further study on the role of ptsG in the pathogenic process of Glaesserella parasuis (G.parasuis).

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), as well as the development of biofilms in drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs), have become an increasing concern for public health and management. As bulk water travels from source to tap, it may accumulate contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) such as antibiotics and heavy metals. When these CECs and other selective pressures, such as disinfection, pipe material, temperature, pH, and nutrient availability interact with planktonic cells and, consequently, DWDS biofilms, AMR is promoted. The purpose of this review is to highlight the mechanisms by which AMR develops and is disseminated within DWDS biofilms. First, this review will lay a foundation by describing how DWDS biofilms form, as well as their basic intrinsic and acquired resistance mechanisms. Next, the selective pressures that further induce AMR in DWDS biofilms will be elaborated. Then, the pressures by which antibiotic and heavy metal CECs accumulate in DWDS biofilms, their individual resistance mechanisms, and co-selection are described and discussed. Finally, the known human health risks and current management strategies to mitigate AMR in DWDSs will be presented. Overall, this review provides critical connections between several biotic and abiotic factors that influence and induce AMR in DWDS biofilms. Implications are made regarding the importance of monitoring and managing the development, promotion, and dissemination of AMR in DWDS biofilms.

Abstract
High concentrations of antibiotics may induce bacterial resistance mutations and further lead to fitness costs by reducing growth of resistant bacteria. However, antibiotic concentrations faced by bacteria are usually low in common environments, which leads to questions about how resistant bacteria with fitness costs regulate metabolism to coexist or compete with susceptible bacteria during sublethal challenge. Our study revealed that a low proportion (< 15%) of resistant bacteria coexisted with susceptible bacteria due to the fitness cost without doxycycline. However, the cost for the resistant strain decreased at a doxycycline concentration of 1 mg/L and even disappeared when the doxycycline concentration was 2 mg/L. Metabonomics analysis revealed that bypass carbon metabolism and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites were the primary metabolic pathways enriching various upregulated metabolites in resistant bacteria without doxycycline. Moreover, the alleviation of fitness cost for resistant bacteria competed with susceptible bacteria at 1 mg/L doxycycline was correlated with the downregulation of the biomarkers pyruvate and pilocarpine. Our study offered new insight into the metabolic mechanisms by which the fitness cost of resistant mutants was reduced at doxycycline concentrations as low as 1 mg/L and identified various potential metabolites to limit the spread of antimicrobial resistance in the environment.

Abstract
Resistance-Nodulation-Division (RND) efflux pumps are relevant determinants of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia multidrug resistance as they can extrude a broad range of antibiotics and compounds involved in virulence and physiological functions. S. maltophilia, an environmental bacterium, was shown to be associated with amoebae and able to multiply inside them. To explore whether S. maltophilia RND efflux pumps play a role when interacting with amoebae, we evaluated the effect of amoebal culture and co-culture supernatants on the growth of S. maltophilia and the expression of sme efflux pump genes. Acanthamoeba castellanii and Willaertia magna were used as amoebal models and strain S. maltophilia BurE1 as bacterial one. Our data showed that both bacterial growth and sme gene expression were not modified by amoebal culture supernatants. On the contrary, co-culture supernatants negatively impacted the growth of BurE1 and induced the expression of three out of eight efflux pump genes, i.e. smeE, smeN and smeZ. Finally, we evidenced the production of A. castellanii secondary metabolites, putatively belonging to the diterpene family, in the amoebal supernatant and in the co-culture supernatant of A. castellanii and BurE1. Whether these compounds act directly as substrates of the efflux pumps and/or inducers of the sme genes need further investigations.
