Seasonal distribution of antibiotic resistance genes in the Yellow River water and tap water, and their potential transmission from water to human

Qiaoling Yu et al.

Summary: The study shows that the distribution of ARGs and opportunistic pathogens in Yellow River water and tap water has distinct seasonal patterns and correlations with water quality parameters and heavy metal contents. Opportunistic pathogens may serve as hosts for ARGs. About 80% of detected ARGs are shared between water samples and the human gut.

Heavy metals and microbiome are negligible drivers than mobile genetic elements in determining particle-attached and free-living resistomes in the Yellow River

Qiaoling Yu et al.

Summary: Suspended particles in the Yellow River contain a higher abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), with winter being the peak season for ARGs. Mobile genetic elements play a key role in driving ARGs in bacteria of different sizes.

Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in 2019: a systematic analysis

Christopher J. L. Murray et al.

Summary: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to global human health, and this study provides the most comprehensive estimates of AMR burden to date. By estimating deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) associated with bacterial AMR in 204 countries and territories in 2019, the study highlights the impact of resistance and the leading pathogen-drug combinations contributing to it.

Climate warming increases the proportions of specific antibiotic resistance genes in natural soil ecosystems

Zixin Li et al.

Summary: Understanding the future distribution of antibiotic resistance in natural soil ecosystems is important for predicting their impacts on ecosystem and human health in the face of climate change. This study examined the effects of simulated climate warming on soil antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in plantation and natural forest ecosystems. The researchers found that the effects of warming on ARGs varied depending on the sampling seasons, and seasonality was a key factor in driving the patterns of ARG compositions in forest soils. Furthermore, changes in soil properties and community compositions of bacteria, fungi, and protists were found to explain the changes in soil ARGs under climate warming.

Metagenomic profiles of the resistome in subtropical estuaries: Co-occurrence patterns, indicative genes, and driving factors

Lei Zhou et al.

Summary: The study found that the Pearl River estuaries in South China had higher diversity and abundance of resistance genes, particularly in genes resistant to multiple antibiotics, metals, and biocides. Mobile genetic elements played a key role in shaping the resistome, and were highly sensitive to physicochemical factors.

Urban ponds as hotspots of antibiotic resistome in the urban environment

Liyuan Hou et al.

Summary: The diversity and abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in urban water ecosystems were explored through high-throughput quantitative PCR, revealing that urban ponds serve as hotspots for ARGs and share many genes with influents (IFs) and effluents (EFs). Stochastic processes dominated the assembly of ARG community in IFs and ponds, indicating the role of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in random horizontal gene transfer.

Climate warming enhances microbial network complexity and stability

Mengting Maggie Yuan et al.

Summary: The authors studied the impact of long-term experimental warming on the complexity and stability of molecular ecological networks in grassland soil microbial communities. The results show that warming increased network complexity and stability, emphasizing the importance of preserving microbial interactions for ecosystem management in the face of climate change.

Improvement of alfalfa resistance against Cd stress through rhizobia and arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi co-inoculation in Cd-contaminated soil

Xia Wang et al.

Summary: This study showed that co-inoculation of rhizobia and arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi significantly improved alfalfa resistance to Cd stress, with changes in rhizosphere microbial community structure and increased bacterial diversity. The improved resistance was mainly attributed to the enhancement of antioxidant enzyme activities, along with mitigation of Cd-induced lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species stress. The enrichment of certain key bacterial taxa induced by co-inoculation enhanced alfalfa' ability to uptake rhizosphere nutrients and reduce carbon release into soil, providing insights into microbe-induced phytomanagement.

Threats of global warming to the world's freshwater fishes

Valerio Barbarossa et al.

Summary: Climate change poses a significant threat to global freshwater biodiversity, with future temperature and flow extremes impacting fish populations, especially in tropical and sub-arid regions where increased water temperature poses a greater threat. Implementing more effective carbon reduction policies can help mitigate the threat to freshwater biodiversity.

Forecasting the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes across bacterial genomes

Mostafa M. H. Ellabaan et al.

Summary: Antibiotic resistance spreads among bacteria through horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes. Researchers identified potential mobilization elements and other features associated with ARG transfer among bacterial clades, predicting the potential future dissemination of known ARGs.

Microbial activity in alpine soils under climate change

Federica D'Alo et al.

Summary: Soil enzymatic activity was assessed in two sites at different elevations in the Stelvio Pass area to study the effects of climate change. The study found that subalpine soils had higher microbial activity and certain physicochemical properties compared to alpine soils, while short-term warming effects had less significant impacts on enzymatic activities than vegetation shift caused by warming-induced upwards movement.

Temperature and microbial interactions drive the deterministic assembly processes in sediments of hot springs

Qing He et al.

Summary: The study found that microbial community assembly in geothermal ecosystems is influenced by stochasticity and biotic interactions, with differences between sediment and water communities in terms of diversity, species-interactions, and community assembly. Sediment communities are primarily governed by heterogeneous selection, while water communities are mainly influenced by undominated stochastic processes and dispersal limitation. Temperature and ferrous iron play a key role in mediating the balance of stochastic and deterministic assembly processes in sediment communities.

An omics-based framework for assessing the health risk of antimicrobial resistance genes

An-Ni Zhang et al.

Summary: Antibiotic resistance genes are common among bacteria, but not all pose high risks to human health. Researchers have developed an omics-based framework to rank these genes by risk, taking into account their enrichment in human associated environments, gene mobility, and host pathogenicity.
