Impact of ciprofloxacin and copper combined pollution on activated sludge: Abundant-rare taxa and antibiotic resistance genes

Jun-Ru Zhao et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impacts of combined pollution on activated sludge system, finding that higher concentrations of ciprofloxacin inhibit nitrification and different enriched genera exhibit different sensitivities to the combined pollution. In addition, ammonia oxidation genes are inhibited by high concentrations of ciprofloxacin, while some aerobic denitrifying bacteria and their key genes increase.

Impacts of combined pollution under gradient increasing and gradient decreasing exposure modes on activated sludge: Microbial communities and antibiotic resistance genes

Yu-Xi Gao et al.

Summary: The study investigated the responses of microbial communities and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) to combined pollution of azithromycin and copper under gradient increasing and decreasing exposure modes. The results showed that the changes in archaeal community and functional structure were more significant than bacteria during exposure. Bacteria and archaea were common hosts for ARGs and contributed to their shifts.

Response of microbial communities based on full-scale classification and antibiotic resistance genes to azithromycin and copper combined pollution in activated sludge nitrification laboratory mesocosms at low temperature

Yu-Xi Gao et al.

Summary: This study investigated the short-term response of abundant-rare genera and antibiotic resistance genes to azithromycin and copper combined pollution in activated sludge nitrification system at low temperature. It was found that ammonia-oxidizing archaea increased in relative abundance, and certain bacteria were enriched under high AZM concentration, potentially indicating nitrogen pathways. Additionally, rare taxa, potential pathogens and nitrogen-removal functional genera were identified as main potential hosts of ARGs.

Resistance risk induced by quorum sensing inhibitors and their combined use with antibiotics: Mechanism and its relationship with toxicity

Xufei Li et al.

Summary: This study investigates the potential of Quorum Sensing Inhibitors (QSIs) to induce bacterial resistance, focusing on their effects on Escherichia coli conjugative transfer and mutation when used alone or in combination with sulfonamides (SAs). The results indicate that QSIs may facilitate plasmid transfer and mutation, potentially impacting bacterial resistance.

The response of copper resistance genes, antibiotic resistance genes, and intl1/2 to copper addition during anaerobic digestion in laboratory

Qin Zhou et al.

Summary: Heavy metal pollution can act as a selective pressure for antibiotic resistance genes, while anaerobic fermentation is effective in mitigating antibiotic resistance diffusion. The relative abundance of certain genes increased at the late stage of fermentation and was linked to copper content. Copper had a significant impact on anaerobic fermentation and the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes.

Selective stress of antibiotics on microbial denitrification: Inhibitory effects, dynamics of microbial community structure and function

Zhi-Ling Li et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that sulfamethoxazole, chlortetracycline and amoxicillin have inhibitory effects on microbial denitrification performance, resulting in decreased nitrate removal efficiencies and decreased expression of important genes. Higher concentrations of antibiotics lead to stronger inhibitory effects, potentially causing changes in the abundance of denitrifying bacterial genera.

Reponses of microbial community and antibiotic resistance genes to the selection pressures of ampicillin, cephalexin and chloramphenicol in activated sludge reactors

Renxin Zhao et al.

Summary: The study found that high concentrations of antibiotics significantly reduced microbial diversity, altered microbial community structures, resulting in a substantial increase of ARGs and changes in ARG profiles, as well as evident enrichment of non-corresponding ARG types. Additionally, network analysis revealed obvious co-occurrence patterns among different ARG types, indicating the potential for resistance co-selection.

Survival strategies of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) in a full-scale WWTP treating mixed landfill leachate containing copper ions and operating at low-intensity of aeration

Yuchun Yang et al.

Summary: Recent study shows that novel AOA strain WS9 dominates the AOM community in a full-scale WWTP treating landfill leachate, possibly due to the low aeration, long retention time, and relatively high inputs of ammonium and copper. This study provides important information for the survival and application of the eutrophic Nitrososphaeraceae AOA and advances our understanding of archaea-dominated ammonia oxidation in a full-scale wastewater treatment system.

Xiuwen Qiu et al.

Summary: This study found that the addition of biochar and peat can significantly reduce the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in sewage sludge compost, leading to changes in bacterial composition and a decrease in pathogenic bacteria. Furthermore, the addition of BC and PT also resulted in lower concentrations of heavy metals compared to the control group, and these metals showed significant positive correlations with ARGs.
