Interactions and associated resistance development mechanisms between microplastics, antibiotics and heavy metals in the aquaculture environment

Zhen Li et al.

Summary: Microplastics, antibiotics, and heavy metals in aquaculture environments have serious ecological and human health consequences. Microorganisms develop antibiotic resistance genes and metal resistance genes as a defense mechanism. Heavy metals may lead bacteria to employ antibiotic resistance, while microplastics could act as potential carriers of multidrug-resistant genes.

Are microplastic particles a hotspot for the spread and the persistence of antibiotic resistance in aquatic systems?

Maria Belen Sathicq et al.

Summary: In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the environmental hazards posed by plastic debris and the role of the environment in spreading antibiotic resistant bacteria. Microplastic particles can serve as a novel ecological niche, facilitating the survival of pathogens and antibiotic resistant bacteria. The formation of the plastisphere can significantly influence the overall microbiome of a specific habitat.

Interactions of microplastics and antibiotic resistance genes and their effects on the aquaculture environments

Han Dong et al.

Summary: This review discusses the ecological effects of microplastics and antibiotic resistance genes in aquaculture environments. The widespread use of antibiotics in agricultural production leads to the presence of antibiotic residues in water and the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Additionally, water microplastics act as carriers of environmental microbes and antibiotic-resistant bacteria, potentially entering aquaculture environments and eventually the human body through food chains.

Selection of antibiotic resistance genes on biodegradable and non-biodegradable microplastics

Yuanze Sun et al.

Summary: This study investigates the presence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) on both biodegradable and non-biodegradable microplastics in a coastal lagoon. The results show that while there were no significant differences in ARG abundance and diversity between the two types of plastics, non-biodegradable PET had a higher abundance of multidrug resistance genes. Host-tracking analysis revealed that different bacterial hosts were responsible for different types of resistance genes on the microplastics.

A One Health perspective of the impacts of microplastics on animal, human and environmental health

Joana C. Prata et al.

Summary: Microplastics contamination is widespread in the environment, with studies needing to consider particle concentrations, characteristics, and exposure conditions. The practical relevance of toxicity assays using concentrations much higher than expected in the environment is limited. A One Health approach provides a new perspective on the intersection of different areas, highlighting the need for more research to clarify the effects of microplastics on One Health under environmentally relevant conditions.
