Project description:Incomplete antibiotic removal in pharmaceutical wastewater treatment plants (PWWTPs) could lead to the development and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARBs) and genes (ARGs) in the environment, posing a growing public health threat. In this study, two multiantibiotic-resistant bacteria, Ochrobactrum intermedium (N1) and Stenotrophomonas acidaminiphila (N2), were isolated from the sludge of a PWWTP in Guangzhou, China. The N1 strain was highly resistant to ampicillin, cefazolin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, and norfloxacin, while the N2 strain exhibited high resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, and cefazolin. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that N1 and N2 had genome sizes of 0.52 Mb and 0.37 Mb, respectively, and harbored 33 and 24 ARGs, respectively. The main resistance mechanism in the identified ARGs included efflux pumps, enzymatic degradation, and target bypass, with the N1 strain possessing more multidrug-resistant efflux pumps than the N2 strain (22 vs 12). This also accounts for the broader resistance spectrum of N1 than of N2 in antimicrobial susceptibility tests. Additionally, both genomes contain numerous mobile genetic elements (89 and 21 genes, respectively) and virulence factors (276 and 250 factors, respectively), suggesting their potential for horizontal transfer and pathogenicity. Overall, this research provides insights into the potential risks posed by ARBs in pharmaceutical wastewater and emphasizes the need for further studies on their impact and mitigation strategies.

Project description:Antibiotic resistance is exacerbated by the exchange of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) between microbes from diverse habitats. Plasmids are important ARGs mobile elements and are spread by horizontal gene transfer (HGT). In this study, we demonstrated the presence of multi-resistant plasmids from inhalable particulate matter (PM) and its effect on gene horizontal transfer. Three transferable multi-resistant plasmids were identified from PM in a hospital, using conjugative mating assays and nanopore sequencing. pTAir-3 contained 26 horizontal transfer elements and 10 ARGs. Importantly pTAir-5 harbored carbapenem resistance gene (blaOXA) which shows homology to plasmids from human and pig commensal bacteria, thus indicating that PM is a media for antibiotic resistant plasmid spread. In addition, 125 μg/mL PM2.5 and PM10 significantly increased the conjugative transfer rate by 110% and 30%, respectively, and augmented reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Underlying mechanisms were revealed by identifying the upregulated expressional levels of genes related to ROS, SOS, cell membranes, pilus generation, and transposition via genome-wide RNA sequencing. The study highlights the airborne spread of multi-resistant plasmids and the impact of inhalable PM on the horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance.

Project description:Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and virulence genes (VGs) associated with bacterial pathogens are of great concern in WWTPs, while current knowledge of their profiles and co-occurrence patterns in different time intervals is barely sufficient. Moreover, the impacts of treatment process on ARG/VGs diversity also remain clear. To this end, this study was launched to address the differences of the ARG/VGs diversity between an oxidation ditch (OD) and an membrane bioreactor (MBR) and the co-occurrence patterns in different time intervals using a functional gene array-GeoChip.

Project description:Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) transmission in wastewater, seriously threaten the ecological safety and human health, which attracted increasing attention throughout the world. However, the correlations between bacterial interaction and environmental stress in photo-inactivation are rarely studied. In this study, the efficient ARGs photo-inactivation of ZIF@CF QDs-Fe were explored. The experimental results revealed that leaked e-ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) were immediately captured and attacked by the extracellular ROS, which blocking the antibiotic-resistance dissemination. Meanwhile, ZIF@CF QDs-Fe photo-treatment further neutralized the negative effect of ROS (·OH, ·O2–) induced oxidative stress, benefiting for the controlling of ARGs conjugative transfer. Combined with bacterial interactions, both bacterial density and abundance of ARGs host was synergically reduced when photo-treatment progressed, thus alleviating the natural dissemination risk of ARGs. Meanwhile, the downregulation of transporter proteins and antibiotic target proteins elucidated that ARGs transcription and bacterial reproduction were significantly suppressed under photo-inactivation. Interestingly, partial of antibiotic bacterial sensitivity would be recovered through the regulations of bacterial functional expressions and further alleviated potential ecological risk. Overall, these findings shed light on the inactivation mechanism of nanomaterial mediated photo-treatment in blocking the resistance transfer pathways, giving valuable guidance for mitigating the antibiotic resistance dissemination in wastewater treatments.

Project description:The use of biofertilizers is becoming an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to promote sustainable agriculture. Biochar from microalgae can be applied to enhance the productivity of food crops through soil improvement, slow nutrient absorption and release, increased water uptake, and long-term mitigation of greenhouse gas sequestration. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the stimulatory effects of biochar produced from Spirulina platensis biomass on the development and seed production of rice plants. Biochar was produced by slow pyrolysis at 300°C, and characterization was performed through microscopy, chemical, and structural composition analyses. Molecular and physiological analyses were performed in rice plants submitted to different biochar concentrations (0.02, 0.1, and 0.5 mg mL-1) to assess growth and productivity parameters. Morphological and physicochemical characterization revealed a heterogeneous morphology and the presence of K and Mg minerals in the biochar composition. Chemical modification of compounds post-pyrolysis and a highly porous structure with micropores were observed. Rice plants submitted to 0.5 mg mL-1 of biochar presented a decrease in root length, followed by an increase in root dry weight. The same concentration influenced seed production, with an increase of 44% in the number of seeds per plant, 17% in the percentage of full seeds per plant, 12% in the weight of 1,000 full seeds, 53% in the seed weight per plant, and 12% in grain area. Differential proteomic analyses in shoots and roots of rice plants submitted to 0.5 mg mL-1 of biochar for 20 days revealed a fine-tuning of resource allocation towards seed production. These results suggest that biochar derived from Spirulina platensis biomass can stimulate rice seed production.

Project description:Natural or industrial pollution of source water by arsenic poses a serious threat to the health of tens of millions of people worldwide, while limited data have addressed its influence on the waterborne pathogens. This study examines the effects of arsenic exposure on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen that poses a health hazard in public water supplies. Our findings reveal that arsenic exposure at concentrations of 0.12–20 mg/L As(III) causes rapid growth arrest in P. aeruginosa. This exposure also leads to a marked decrease in elastase, pyocyanin, and flagellar production, while significantly increasing siderophore and extracellular polysaccharide production. Proteomic analysis indicates that both low (0.12 mg/L) and high (1.2 mg/L) arsenic levels trigger an antioxidant defense response, evidenced by the upregulation of Fnr-2, TrxB2, Ohr, AlgZ, and PslG. Concurrently, proteins related to basal metabolism, quorum sensing, T3SS, pyocyanin biosynthesis, and flagellar assembly are downregulated. Moreover, arsenic exposure enhances the expression of proteins involved in siderophore biosynthesis and transporters associated with iron uptake and multidrug resistance. In vitro assays further demonstrate that arsenic exposure reduces bacterial cytotoxicity while promoting survival and proliferation under antibiotic treatment. In summary, this study provides comprehensive insights into how arsenic affects bacterial virulence and antibiotic tolerance in P. aeruginosa, highlighting the potential public health risks posed by the frequent co-occurrence of arsenic-contaminated water sources and multidrug-resistant bacteria.
