Occurrence of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes at various stages of different aquaculture modes surrounding Tai Lake, China.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Aquaculture is an important source of antibiotics and ARGs in environmental waters. However, the occurrence of antibiotics and ARGs under different modes and stages of aquaculture has rarely been systematically studied.

Methods

This paper uses qPCR, LC-MS, and High-Throughput sequencing across different culture modes and stages to investigate antibiotics, resistance genes, and microbial communities in the water bodies, and analyze contamination differences between these modes.

Results

The quinolone and chloramphenicol were the main antibiotics, and the highest absolute abundance genes were quinolone resistance genes (qnrB) and quinolone resistance genes (sul1), with the mobile genetic element (MGE) intI1, both of which exhibited a gra
