Insights of metallic nanoparticles and ions in accelerating the bacterial uptake of antibiotic resistance genes

Shuai Zhang et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the release of nanomaterials in aquatic environments can significantly promote the transformation of extracellular antibiotic resistance genes, potentially accelerating the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This new finding highlights the importance of considering the role of nanomaterials in the spread of AMR when assessing their overall risk.

Heavy metal could drive co-selection of antibiotic resistance in terrestrial subsurface soils

Xiaomin Wang et al.

Summary: This study found abundant and diverse ARGs in subsurface soils, with significant spatial heterogeneity among sampling sites. Heavy metals were key factors shaping ARG profiles in soils with high heavy metal contents, potentially triggering antibiotic resistance by increasing mobile genetic elements abundance or influencing bacterial communities.

Beyond horizontal gene transfer: the role of plasmids in bacterial evolution

Jeronimo Rodriguez-Beltran et al.

Summary: Plasmids play a vital role in bacterial ecology and evolution by mobilizing accessory genes through horizontal gene transfer. Recent studies show that plasmids, kept at multiple copies per cell, create islands of polyploidy in bacterial genomes, leading to evolution governed by different rules than those affecting chromosomal genes. Plasmids may accelerate bacterial evolution by promoting the evolution of plasmid-encoded genes and enhancing the adaptation of their host chromosomes.

Co-selection of antibiotic resistance genes, and mobile genetic elements in the presence of heavy metals in poultry farm environments

Sohaib H. Mazhar et al.

Summary: Environmental selection of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in livestock is primarily influenced by metal residues, with metals having a greater impact on ARG profile compared to antibiotics. Bacterial composition and horizontal gene transfer are key factors shaping the composition of ARGs.

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.

Is sewage sludge a valuable fertilizer? A soil microbiome and resistome study under field conditions

Anna Markowicz et al.

Summary: Contrary to expectations, sewage sludge did not improve soil organic matter, nutrient content, and microbial activity, resulting in no fertilization effect. Additionally, an increase in bioavailable Cd, Ni, and Cu content was observed. Canonical correspondence analysis indicated that these increases mainly explained changes in the soil microbial community.
