Combined effects of nanosized polystyrene and erythromycin on bacterial growth and resistance mutations in Escherichia coli

Qing Ning et al.

Summary: The study found that nanoplastics have toxic effects on the growth and antibiotic resistance evolution of Escherichia coli, primarily through adsorption onto bacterial surfaces and increasing intracellular ROS or potential mechanical damage, while also increasing bacterial resistance mutations. Amino-modified nano-PS showed synergistic effects with erythromycin, while unmodified nano-PS had no impact.

Glyphosate escalates horizontal transfer of conjugative plasmid harboring antibiotic resistance genes

Hongna Zhang et al.

Summary: Glyphosate has been found to accelerate the horizontal transfer of conjugative plasmids carrying antibiotic resistance genes in bacteria by regulating the expression levels of related genes through the over-production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. This study sheds new light on the biological effects of glyphosate on antibiotic resistance genes.

Microplastics act as vectors for antibiotic resistance genes in landfill leachate: The enhanced roles of the long-term aging process

Yinglong Su et al.

Summary: The study revealed that the aging process significantly altered the surface properties of MPs, increasing specific surface areas, forming oxygen-containing groups, and changing surface morphology, which further enhanced microbial colonization. The bacterial community on MPs showed higher biofilm-forming and pathogenic potential compared to leachate. Results also indicated selective enrichment of ARGs on MPs, with an enhancement in enrichment potential during the aging process. Co-occurrence networks suggested the presence of non-random, closer, and more stable ARGs-bacterial taxa relations on MP surface, influencing ARG transmission.

Micro- and nanoplastic induced cellular toxicity in mammals: A review

Amrita Banerjee et al.

Summary: Plastic-based products are widely used in daily life but their limited biodegradability has raised pollution concerns globally, particularly micro- and nanoplastics. These pollutants are widespread in various environments and have well-documented biological effects on aquatic organisms, while their impacts on mammals remain insufficiently studied. Small size, positive charge, high dose, and presence of toxic additives or pollutants in micro/nanoplastics appear to induce cellular toxicity through oxidative stress, membrane damage, immune response, and genotoxicity.

Enhanced hepatic cytotoxicity of chemically transformed polystyrene microplastics by simulated gastric fluid*

Lixin Wang et al.

Summary: Microplastics pollution is a global environmental issue that has received widespread attention, but limited knowledge exists on the detrimental effects of microplastics on human health. This study found that transformed polystyrene microplastics exhibited enhanced cytotoxicity in hepatocytes, with effects including morphological alteration, membrane damage, and increased cell apoptosis through oxidative stress. The exacerbated cytotoxicity was attributed to changes in degradation, surface charge, and surface chemistry of the microplastics after transformation.

Sathisaran Umamaheswari et al.

Summary: The study elucidates the molecular events underlying apoptosis in the gills of zebrafish exposed to polystyrene microplastics, demonstrating that the exposure induces dose-and time-dependent ROS mediated apoptotic responses. The physiological responses observed in the gills correlate with the molecular mechanisms underpinning the toxicity of PS-MPs in zebrafish.

Co-effect of cadmium and iron oxide nanoparticles on plasmid-mediated conjugative transfer of antibiotic resistance genes

Qiang Pu et al.

Summary: The simultaneous exposure to Cd2+ and high concentration nano Fe2O3 significantly increased the transfer frequencies of plasmid RP4, leading to the formation of more transconjugants, most of which were identified as human pathogens. The co-effect of Cd2+ and nano Fe2O3 enhanced cell membrane permeability, antioxidant enzyme activities, and mRNA expression levels of conjugation genes, exacerbating the conjunctive transfer of ARGs.
