Effects of Resource Availability and Antibiotic Residues on Intestinal Antibiotic Resistance in Bellamya aeruginosa.

ABSTRACT: Widespread and inappropriate use of antibiotics has been shown to increase the spread of antibiotics and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in aquatic environments and organisms. Antibiotic use for the treatment of human and animal diseases is increasing continuously globally. However, the effects of legal antibiotic concentrations on benthic consumers in freshwater environments remain unclear. In the present study, we tested the growth response of Bellamya aeruginosa to florfenicol (FF) for 84 days under high and low concentrations of sediment organic matter (carbon [C] and nitrogen [N]). We characterized FF and sediment organic matter impact on the bacterial community, ARGs, and metabolic pathways in the intestine using metagenomic sequencing and analysis. The high concentratio
